Hampton STEM Program


STEM education teaches students how to solve problems by using their critical thinking skills. By engaging in STEM learning experiences, students learn how to examine problems and then create a plan to solve them. 


Our students have the gift for exploration and experimentation already. When those natural impulses are matched with fundamental science concepts and instruction in inquiry methods such as controls, communication, and record keeping, students gain a solid foundation in science that can help them move ahead and excel in STEM fields.


Studies show that as students enter middle school, many of them, especially girls and minorities, lose confidence in their abilities to learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. But it doesn’t have to be that way.


When we provide a STEM education that meets classroom budget and time challenges and also gets kindergarten, 1st grade and second grade students excited about science, we’re building a foundation of knowledge and a love of STEM that can be fostered and built upon for all students through years of education.


That foundation will help every student, without concern of gender or background, remain confident in their STEM learning. 


Benefits of STEM Education:

  • Helps Develop A Stronger Foundation In Math and Science. 
  • Competence and Confidence. 
  • Ingenuity and Creativity. 
  • Develops Curiosity, Innovation and Resourcefulness. 
  • Scientific Literacy. 
  • Develops Critical Thinking Skills. 
  • Helps With Social-Emotional Learning

ELEMENTARY

Long-Lasting Benefits

Elementary STEM education extends well beyond simple computations; by using science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts in your classroom, your student will become a problem solver as they investigate real world problems in the global sphere. 


The greatest benefit of STEM is that it fosters a love of learning. Instilling a passion and drive to learn is at its most crucial stage during the elementary years.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Developing Excellence in Our Students

Paradoxically, while academic interest often wanes in the middle-school years, these students are already forming serious opinions about future career paths.


Exposure to STEM career awareness programs during this time triggers students to seriously consider jobs in engineering, technology, manufacturing, biology, etc.


Many are looking at these career possibilities for the first time. These aspirations inform critical future choices, such as choosing STEM classes in high school or even applying to STEM-centered magnet schools.


These small decisions are what leads to adult choosing careers in STEM fields.
