Our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Academy is based upon innovative, and cutting-edge project-based instruction. Today STEM is identified in many different ways, including incomputer science and engineering/robotics. Computer science courses focus on problem solving through project based learning. Over the past 25 years, STEM education has been evolving from a convenient clustering of four overlapping disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) toward a more cohesive knowledge base and skill set critical for the 21st century. It now encompasses areas of computer science, the designed world, and robotics, as each of these areas reflect the integration of the original four domains of study in which the goals are to resolve problems and create innovative solutions to proposed challenges. Students receive college credit from CUNY York and SUNY Farmingdale.
