Harmony Public Schools, a leader in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education, has been awarded an $8 million Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Innovation and Improvement to pioneer a new, early-education STEM program for elementary students.
Dubbed “LEAF to STEM” (Launching Elementary Academic Foundations to STEM), the new program will build upon Harmony’s project-based learning STEM model for Grade 6-12 students by introducing similar curricula to students in Grade K-5, and by creating a system of support and professional development for elementary school teachers.
