STEM in the Classroom
Education is always changing and as the focus on STEM in the classroom increases across all grades, the types of activities and learning experiences students have access to must expand to keep pace and meet state curriculum requirements.
Swenson College is committed to partnering with local school districts to enhance lesson planning with fun, hands-on learning opportunities.
Whether it is during class time or after school, Swenson College is eager to collaborate with educators on real-world STEM learning applications. By partnering with us, students can relate to young adults currently taking courses in the STEM majors. Students will also have the opportunity to experience active learning, ask questions about what it takes to prepare for a STEM major, what the college experience is like, and learn about the STEM careers available to them after college.
