“在21世纪, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.——美国国家科学基金会

STEM区别概述

项目目标

1. To expose students to a variety of STEM fields and demonstrate the inter-relatedness of science, 技术, 工程, 和数学.
2. To gain functional knowledge in all areas of STEM and sustain interest in future STEM-based pursuits.
3. To gain fluency in a computer science language in order to learn different problem solving algorithms and to improve analytical thinking and problem solving.
4. To promote STEM related literacy, whether or not they pursue STEM-related fields in the future.
5. 培养创造力和设计思维能力.

项目要求

1. 学术课程
In addition to the general graduation requirements set forth by the 上学校, 学生必须完成以下课程 最低成绩为B :
•计算机程序设计入门
•高级和/或AP计算机科学
•AP微积分AB
• Two of the following: AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Biology 

​​学生s must earn at least 500 points to receive the certificate at graduation. 报名上课, participating in clubs and activities related to STEM-based initiatives, and attending outside field-related seminars all count toward this goal. Among the points earned for completing certain elective activities, there are two required elements: reading a STEM related book during the summer and then attending a seminar in the fall to discuss the reading, and writing a one page reflection on the book; and the completion of a 顶点研究项目 during senior year.
2. 课外活动
 Participating in the following clubs and activities count toward the STEM distinction:
  • 编码
  • 会编程的女孩
  • 掠袭者机器人 is part of the FIRST Tech Challenge, a global competition program. 这个团队大约每周开一次会, 一般在星期天下午, starting in September and running through February or March, 视比赛日程而定. 学生s learn 工程, coding, and group work skills in this team building exercise. 
学生s can also earn STEM points by participating in outside field-related seminars. Examples of seminars that have been offered in the past include:

3. 暑期阅读
每年，STEM联合主席将讨论 a STEM related book for all distinction candidates to read during the summer. 学生s will then attend a seminar in the fall to discuss the reading and write a one-page reflection on the book.

​2020: 病毒 凯西·赖斯著
2019: 驾驭风的男孩 作者:William Kamkwamba

4. 顶点研究项目
代替传统的德哈特计划, STEM distinction graduates are required to complete the STEM Capstone Project.

​STEM顶点项目 reflects the belief that the processes inherent in learning are at least as important as the products. All STEM students should complete certain common processes. 这些基本过程包括:
  1. 制定和实施行动计划
  2. 进行研究
  3. 与顾问一起工作
  4. 通过多种方式展示研究成果
  5. 反思与自我评价

STEM顶点项目描述
大三
  • Develop your own original idea for a scientific investigation. Examples include: lab research to answers a scientific question, creating a prototype of a product that serves a defined need and then testing that prototype, creating and testing a computer program that solves a defined problem, or other ideas that are approved by an NCS STEM teachers
  • 6月1日前完成项目建议书初稿

初四之间的暑假
  • 完成经修订的项目建议书
  • Complete research notes and work cited page from a minimum of three primary sources (see Project Proposal for details) by September 1

大四
  • 创造/实验，改进，沟通
  • Create and test multiple iterations of prototypes of product developed to solve a problem, conduct multiple trials of scientific research to answer a question, 创建和测试计算机程序, 等.
  • Gather and analyze data, take pictures of experiments or steps in building of a prototype
  • 学生 will keep a reflective notebook/process log (with diagrams/sk等hes/pictures as needed) documenting daily work done on the project
  • Complete writing formal report and preparing oral presentation (due dates based on date of speech and as arranged with STEM teachers and advisor)
