STEM with XF Katie & XF Mai Tong

Hello! Nyob zoo!

 

Welcome to the STEM page with XF Katie and XF Mai Tong. In our classes, we teach science through TWIG and coding. Students will explore and develop ways to solve problems with science, technology, engineering, and math. We are fostering creative and critical thinking.

This year, all students will be introduced to coding. Some grade levels will learn how to code using Sphero robots. We will also be supporting our science teacher, Mrs. Hansing, in teaching science lessons from the new TWIG Science curriculum.
