Welcome to Mr. Cathey's STEM Class!

Mr. Frank Cathey

6th, 7th, and 8th Grade STEM

 

 

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. In STEM class, students will be presented with story motivated, industry relevant STEM challenges/units that will build student capacity in problem solving, critical thinking, and engineering & scientific skills using the Engineering Design Process (EDP).

 

 

Students in STEM class will be completing hands-on activities. In many of these activities, students will design, then build a prototype. This may require the use of tools that have the potential to cause injury to a student. Therefore, before being allowed to work on any hands-on activity, students must learn about safety and pass a safety test with 100% accuracy, and must return the STEM Student Safety Contract signed by the student and the parent/guardian.
