Hands-on tools and equipment drive engagement in learning. Every unit builds STEM skills and identity through authentic application.
Off-track freshmen are more than 3.5× likelier not to graduate 1 , while active STEM learning narrows failure gaps by 45% and exam gaps by 33% 2 .
Unit challenges connect STEM tools with industry-relevant problems, helping students cement academic learning while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and future-ready skills.
• Students advance from introductory tools to professional-grade technology by high school. • STEM applications enhance problem-solving across industries, from healthcare to the arts. • Hands-on experiences connect classroom learning to careers in every field.
