� CMIT-S MS&HS �STEM INFORMATION

What is STEM

• STEM education is the intentional integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and their associated practices to create a student-centered learning environment .
• in which students investigate and engineer solutions to problems, and construct evidence-based explanations of real-world phenomena
• with a focus on a student’s social, emotional, physical, and academic needs through shared contributions of schools, families, and community partners.

What does it mean to be a STEM school

• A STEM specialty school: The entire school's focus is on STEM and every student participates in a curriculum of
• science
• technology
• engineering
• and mathematics.
• A STEM program within a larger school: Some schools create STEM academies within their schools that allow interested students to study STEM in more depth.

What you might find in a STEM classroom�

• Students behaving as scientists: On a typical day, they may be recording observations, carrying out experiments, or conducting their own research. Learning is project-based and sometimes messy, but students learn by doing, not by rote memorization.
• Connecting STEM learning to a career: To help students understand what kind of STEM jobs are available, schools may bring in tutors from local technology companies or organize internships at hospitals or research institutions.
• Integrating with other subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math subjects are woven into other areas of the curriculum, with courses such as the “History of Science” or “Environmental History.”
• Making use of technology: By taking quizzes on their laptops, entering data into spreadsheets, and creating graphs to illustrate the results of their experiments, students are using technology in their daily studies. STEM programs students are given their own individual computer (or iPad, in this case) for their work. Teachers may have web pages featuring necessary classroom materials, which may also allow students to work ahead if they want to or review a lesson if need be.
• Noise: Classrooms are not quiet and are often arranged so that students can sit and work in groups. This encourages collaboration as students discuss their work and challenge each other’s ideas.

​

What does STEM look like as enrichment 

• STEM Clubs are a powerful and enjoyable way to engage young people with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
• STEM ACTIVITES provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for the student. Making math and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn.
• Fun, play, and friends. STEM Builders gives you the best of both worlds. Our after school program pick your student from school and provide STEM Education with a hands-on learning experience which makes learning fun for them.
• We provide STEM courses such as ROBOTICS, GAME DESIGN, CODING, ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS, and MATHEMATICS. We provide the homework help as well.

STEM PROGRAM CLUBS AFTER SCHOOL

Science Olympiad

• There will be two teams for Science Olympiad. One for 6^th to 8^th grade and other for 9^th to 12^th grade
• Each group will consist of 15 students.
• Teams practice/work on Thursdays from 7:35 am to 8:15 am and Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

SCIENCE PRACTICES BEFORE THE SCHOOL STARTS, OUR KIDS WITH SPONSOR COACHES (TEACHERS, PARENTS )

WE RECEIVED GOLD MEDAL IN THE PING PONG PARACHUTE PROJECT REGIONAL COMPETITION IN 2019-2020

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAM ON ANOTHER COMPETITON

Additional information about Science Olympiad

• A team contains 15 students.
• 15 students should compete in all 23 events as groups in different combinations
• Each student group should compete in 3 events to make sure all events are covered.
• Students may win individual medals, however, it is a team competition and the team should win to qualify for State and then for Nationals.

MDOT-TRAC Bridge Building Competition

• There will be two different for MDOT-TRAC. One for 6^th to 8^th grade and other for 9^th to 12^th grade
• Students will work in Teams of Three to create a design and proposal

MDOT-TRAC Bridge Building Competition

• It is a great way to learn technical skills and translate classroom concepts into the real world.
• There will be trips to see various Bridges.
• Competition sponsors would cover tour and other expenses.
• It is a great way to network with other students and teachers participating in the competition.

​

PARTICIPANTS WORKS ON THE SOFTWARE TO BUILD THEIR BRIDGES

BUILDING THE BRIDGES WITH INSTRUCTED MATERIALS WITH THE HEL OF COACHES IN THE SCHOOL PREMISES

CMIT-S participated in two categories to CLF TRAC bridge building competitions every year . Middle school and High school team

First Lego League (FLL)

• There will be one team for First Lego League. Students from 6-8 grade can apply.

​

WE get large number of the STUDENT interest in FLL CLUB

IT IS MORE THAN FLL CLUB ACTIVITY

FLL CONTINUED DURING PANDEMIC

SEAPERCH STEM CLUB

Seaperch is an innovative underwater robotic program that equips student ,educator and parents with resources they need to build and underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in an in –or out of school setting

As an integrated STEM education program, SeaPerch is a great place to start on your journey to build a bot and learn how to use that bot for good.

Vex Robotics Competition

• There will be one team for Vex Robotics. Students from 9th to 12^th grade can apply.

​

​

What is VEX Robotics?

• Robotics is a part of engineering. It’s a combination of many different engineering and STEM branches, like computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, etc.
• VEX Robotics use the principles of robotics to accomplish certain tasks and solve problems.
• The VEX Robotics competitions is a competition where students use the robots that they built to win certain games.
• The games vary from year-to-year.
• The robot design also varies depending on the type of competition.
