BrainSTEM makes its way into Arizona schools

Middle school students across Arizona have the opportunity to learn important scientific and engineering literacy skills while having fun through a program called BrainSTEM.

BrainSTEM which stands for science, technology, engineering and math is an exciting and engaging educational program for underserved students in Arizona. The program is meant to grab the students attention through an improvisational sketch comedy show that teaches science in way that is easy for kids to understand.

The program which visited three schools in Yuma this week will be presented at 50 middle schools throughout Arizona for hundreds of students and educators per day, reaching over 30,000 individuals during a five-week period starting in this month.

The program, customized to demonstrate APS Foundation’s emphasis on STEM education while aligning with the NTC Research Foundation objectives, is measured both qualitatively and quantitatively through teacher evaluations and detailed metrics.
