The Indiana Department of Education has increased the number of STEM Certified Schools in that state. There are now 78 schools certified in science, technology, engineering and math. 18 of those were added Monday and one of schools on that list is Loogootee High School.
STEM Certified schools were first selected in 2015. Schools are selected based on their commitment to teaching STEM disciplines throughout the entire school. STEM Certified schools exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education, employing a great deal of inquiry, project-based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student centered classrooms, integration into humanities and related arts, and out-of-school STEM activities.
