STEM

A Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) magnet is designed for students who enjoy challenges and investigating the world around them. A child’s innate ability to explore, experiment, problem solve, and invent is at the heart of Cedar Park’s STEM studies. Instead of teaching science, technology, engineering and math classes in isolation, Cedar Park STEM links the students’ learning opportunities by using an inter-disciplinary approach as much as possible. Our hands-on learning helps students make the connections between academic concepts and real life. The school’s instructional practices value diverse learning styles, provide rich experiences for all learners, and nurture self-esteem and life-long learning

Minnesota Department of Education Grant

Cedar Park STEM is very fortunate to have been awarded a Minnesota Department of Education Magnet School Grant for 2009-2010. The intent of the grant is to support the development of a strong engineering program at Cedar Park. Cedar Park is partnering with the University of St. Catherine and The WORKS Museum of Engineering. St. Catherine staff will train six Cedar Park teachers and help develop a train-the-trainer model to provide engineering professional development for the entire school staff. They will also give support to teachers as the school integrates engineering into the curriculum. The WORKS is using its expertise in designing hands-on museum stations to develop a new engineering installation for Cedar Park's Building Understanding Zone (BUZ Room). The BUZ Room's Engineering installation is scheduled to be open during the second trimester.
