Welcome to STEM at Wells Elementary School! 

What is STEM?

"STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning which removes the traditional barriers separating the four disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and integrates them into real world, rigorous and relevant learning experiences for students." 
                                                                       - from STEM Lesson Essentials: Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics




That is the best and most simple definition of STEM teaching and learning that I have found so far. In 2012, we began the STEM program here at Wells Elementary School. I hope that this site will both inform and celebrate STEM at WES. Enjoy!
