Our school name, STEM is an acroynm, which means:
To Improve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Studies.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are the root of a rigorous and forward-thinking educational program here at Hopewell STEM Academy. If you want your child to be best prepared for college and jobs of the future, then look no further.
Young minds are like newly formed galaxies. Full of energy, expansive & curious. Poised & ready to stretch out and make their mark in the universe. Hopewell STEM, we believe that every child is full of brilliance and potential. At Hopewell STEM Playgroup, they discover it for themselves.
Here at Hopewell STEM Academy we envision every student becoming a world-class scientist, technologist, engineer or mathematician. We encourage students to become critical thinkers & to explore and experiment with their talents & discover their purpose.
The acronym STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. According to the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation, STEM fields are collectively considered the core technological underpinnings of an advanced society.
In the late 20th century, rapid advances in computer and information technologies as well as biomedical technologies, have led to amazing innovations that have changed the way we live, work, communicate, learn and play. These technological innovations have also been a primary driver of economic growth in the AFRICA Continuation down this path of innovation will require more Africans equipped with STEM skills, knowledge and abilities.
Without a strong foundation in math and science from elementary and secondary school, students may find themselves unprepared to train for and pursue careers in STEM fields
College students may not have the information necessary regarding career prospects to make educated decisions in selecting a course of study. Younger students may lack appropriate mentors, or there may be inadequate hands-on activities in the classroom to pique their interest. Having a mentor significantly influences students’ decisions to pursue STEM degrees and occupations, especially for students of color and women.
Further, those with more opportunities to engage in STEM –related activities, such as science fairs, projects, and clubs, are more likely to go on to STEM careers and have accomplishments in STEM field
STEM literate students display their understanding of how the world works in an approach integrating the four domains of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. At Hopewell STEM Academy, we recognize the importance of a STEM education to prepare students for the future and help them to be not only competitive, but to become leaders and innovators in their field of interest.
