Our program aims to explore the world through curiosity and hands-on experiences. It’s designed to help young learners understand how things work and encourage them to think like scientists by asking questions, observing, experimenting and making discoveries. With an emphasis on Life, Earth and Physical Science, our curriculum is designed to help our students make sense of the natural world.

 

 

echnology

Technology in STEM learning at the elementary level is about helping our students understand and interact with the digital world around them. It’s all about exploring tools, devices and digital skills that make life easier, connect us with others, and allow us to create and solve problems in new ways. Irwin has several resources to support the STEM instruction such as 3D printers, Ozobots, IndiCars, Vex Robotics and much more!

 

nginneering

Students will learn how to solve problems by designing, building and testing. It’s a way for them to use creativity and teamwork to make things work, whether it’s building a bridge, designing a tower or creating a gadget. Our program allows students to evaluate a building process from start to finish, learning about simple machines and working to improve devices and mechanisms until they work.

 

athematics

Our math teachers strive to build basic skills with numbers and patterns while connecting math to the world around them. It’s not just about solving problems on paper; it’s about understanding how math can be used to solve real-life problems and make sense of everyday situations. In our program, students will understand patterns and sequences, explore shapes and collect and interpret data.
