Over the course of the year we have
enjoyed the opportunity to implement the Nipmuc STEM Scholars Program, an
initiative to expand the offerings available to students in STEM (science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Through the STEM Scholars
Program we are providing our students with workplace readiness training,
connections to colleges and universities, and job shadowing/internship
experiences. These real world, authentic learning experiences complement the work
students complete in our classrooms.
As part of this program and our
participation in WPI's "STEM for District Leaders" program, Nipmuc is
providing a STEM Career and College Fair on Friday, January 24th to all of
Nipmuc's students. At the fair we will welcome more than 30 representatives
from STEM professions, universities, community groups, and organizations. These
professionals and community members will meet with our students, answer their
questions, and excite them about the potential of STEM.
We encourage you to talk to your child
about this fair and the opportunities provided there. We are excited to watch
the STEM Scholars Program grow as we build upon the achievement in our
classrooms and expand the programming at our school.
