21st Century Ed - STEM Integration Continuum
Company Overview
21stCenturyEd is a pioneering educational technology company using our adaptive expertise to impact modern education. AI, robotics, and automation are reshaping the world as we know it. Education must evolve to connect STEM to core instruction, thereby future-proofing all students for coexisting with intelligent automated machines. STEM programs offered as electives, enrichment, and extracurricular activities are necessary but not sufficient to prepare the students with the relevant skills to compete globally. Students must be not only digitally literate but also STEM literate, adept in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, problem-finding, and problem-solving—the 4Cs+2Ps formula. 21stCenturyEd is at the forefront of this evolution, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century and the shifting dynamics of global economies.
Project Description
Students on this project will implement in software the STEM Integration Continuum™, which empowers schools and districts to evaluate how deeply STEM is embedded in their teaching and programs. 21stCenturyEd has implemented a prototype demonstrating the STEM Integration Continuum™ methodology, capturing a 12 pre-set questions or statements that measure specific traits using a 4-point scale scoring system. The prototype can be viewed here. The student team will program a system that will allow education professionals to signup, answer questions and will be able to see results according to the STEM Integration Continuum™ methodology.
