Don’t miss out on Sylvan’s new STEM programs!

August 26, 2016
Hands-on STEM in the classroom means discovery in the classroom. It means problem-solving, active learning and engaged students. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, collectively known as STEM, are key 21stcentury skills. Integrated STEM programming combines at least two of these topics rather than instructing students in a single subject. It’s not hard to do – after all, what is engineering or physics without math?
