In a significant exchange of ideas and educational insights, the Susquehanna Pennsylvania STEM learning ecosystem recently visited the STEM2 Hub in Northeast Florida. The primary focus of the visit was to observe the successful implementation of Advanced STEM plus Computer Science programs across the district, with a keen interest in exploring the system wide approach undertaken by the Putnam County School District (PCSD). The top priority was to tour the county schools and witness firsthand the positive impact on academic achievement and increased interest in STEM careers among students of all ages.
PCSD has emerged as a trailblazer in the comprehensive implementation of a STEM system approach. We are at the forefront, providing all students with access to a meticulously aligned and progressively challenging curriculum. The visiting delegation from Susquehanna was particularly intrigued by the success stories emanating from PCSD, where students are not only excelling academically but are also developing a deep-rooted interest and knowledge in STEM careers.
Adding an international dimension to this exchange, representatives from the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC also joined the exploration of STEM education strategies. Hailing from Norway, Germany, Romania, the Republic of Korea, Hungary, and Lithuania, the delegates aimed to gain insights into the vision and implementation strategies of STEM education across districts, irrespective of their size. This diverse group of international representatives saw an opportunity to bring these learnings back to their respective countries, contributing to the global advancement of STEM education.
