STEM PICKS UP STEAM National STEM movement thrives in local schools

Here’s how four local schools have embraced STEM education.

IN 2015, SPEAKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION, President Barack Obama proclaimed that science “is more than a school subject, or the periodic table or the properties of waves. It is … a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world.”

According to the U.S. Department of Education, one reason for America’s status as a global leader is the scientists who solve problems, gather and evaluate evidence and make sense of information. These are the skills that students learn by studying science, technology, engineering and math — subjects collectively known as STEM. The acronym has become modern pedagogy.

In the STEM approach, the four subjects are not taught in isolation, but treated as a group of interdisciplinary studies. STEM teachers encourage students to apply their problem-solving skills to real world situations.

Based on data provided by the Education Commission New Orleans Center of the States, the number of STEM jobs will grow by 13 for Creative Arts percent by 2027, compared to 9 percent for nonSTEM jobs; median earnings in STEM jobs are $38.85 per hour, versus student Paul Gale $19.30 per hour in other jobs in the U.S.; and the unemployworks on a robotics ment rate for STEM occupations is 2.2 percent, while the project in a scienceunemployment rate for nonSTEM jobs is 5.5 percent.

In an effort to generate interest in STEM subjects and camath class. reers, schools across the country have incorporated STEM PHOTO BY ELIZ ABE TH into their curricula. In New Orleans, some schools have MCMILL AN adopted variations of STEM, such as STEAM and STREAM, which also include emphases on the arts and religion.

Religion and the arts play a prominent role at Mount Carmel Academy, so the Catholic high school incorporated STREAM into its curriculum.

“STEM was not going to be enough … so STREAM was what we were able to come up with as a public image,” says Geoffrey Philabaum, director of academic innovation. “For us, STREAM is a starting point, because we are also deeply engaged in the idea of literature making us better humans.”

To incorporate engineering throughout the school, Mount Carmel developed the Cubs Create Design Cycle, an engineering design model that students use when they work on projects, which culminates in a schoolwide competition.

“I think our greatest victory is that students are seeing that any problem can be approached in an organized way of thinking, [such as] our design cycle, in which you’re posed a question, you research, you imagine a solution, you create the solution and then you have to evaluate it, and most likely you have to revise it,” Philabaum says. “It’s really helping our girls to understand that, one: failure is important to success, and two: that in order to get anything right, you need to have an organized plan of working through it.”

Since the school implemented STREAM, more graduates have pursued careers in related fields, he says.

Mount Carmel Academy

The New Orleans Center for Science & Math (Sci High)

“We incorporate STEM in almost everything that we do,” says Dr. Monique Cola, the principal of Sci High.

The school offers 10 college-level advanced placement courses including STEM subjects, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways in the biomedical and engineering fields, which allow students to work toward the completion of a credential before graduating from high school.

Last year, 304 out of Sci High’s 490 students earned CTE certifications.

“They can take those certifications and go directly into the workforce,” Cola says.

During an internship at Tulane University, one Sci High student worked in a geophysics laboratory with a seismologist to develop illustrations for her work. The project was featured in a publication and accepted by the National Academy of Sciences’ Division on Earth and Life Studies.

Sci High also hosts a “Makerspace” — a collaborative workspace where students can use and share both simple and high-tech tools.

“Technology is central to their lives,” Cola says. “Although we want to make sure they’re able to compete on a local level, we want them to be 21st-century citizens, and able to compete with anybody, anywhere on the planet.”

The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts

The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) uses the STEAM model since so many of its students are invested in the arts. But NOCCA teachers encourage students to channel their creativity into STEM subjects as well.

“Although they’re creative in their arts, it turns out that they’re creative in everything, which is wonderful,” says Kit Nelson, director of NOCCA’s Academic Studio. She believes STEM education counters the “sit-and-get mentality,” in which students memorize materials and complete assigned tasks. Instead, students are encouraged to approach problems in a creative way.

“Students might have, at some point in their lives, thought, ‘Oh, I’m not good at math,’ or ‘I’m not good at science.’ But when they look at it in a creative way, students find something they like about it,” Nelson says.

NOCCA partners with businesses to explore real-world applications for STEM subjects, such as a program in which students test river water and collect data.

Course offerings for seniors include engineering and robotics classes.

“Students do a lot of developing of their own projects,” Nelson says. A teacher will assign a topic, but students are asked to explore it in their own way. “They love it in the end, because they’ve invested time and energy and effort into the learning.”

Matt Neely, the head of school at Metairie Park Country Day School, says the STEM, STEAM and STREAM movements are “trying to elevate the teaching of (science and math) content.”

To that end, Country Day recently opened its Science and Engineering Building, which has physics, chemistry and biology labs, along with a computer science engineering room. It also created the Department of Applied Technology, which offers computational and design thinking across the curriculum for all students.

“The students are acquiring knowledge the way they traditionally did in classrooms, but they’re also learning ... by being creative and playful, and by putting ideas together that they can bring to life,” says Andy Talmadge, a computer science teacher at the school. For example, middle schoolers have designed and built robots to better understand the concepts of physics, he says.

Upper-school students taking a mathematical modeling course created a scale model of the school’s new dining facility, complete with 3-D-printed chairs, tables, serving stations and clean up stations. Using this model, they worked with the dining staff to plan an efficient way for student traffic to move through the area.

“I often find myself drawing connections between the person I was when I arrived at Saint Stanislaus and the person I was when I left.

After attending Stanislaus I felt a movement in my spirituality, my work ethic, my personal conduct, and growth as a person. I figured out that I am a lifelong learner and that I aim to serve the community in some way or another.”

Evan, SSC Boarding Student, class of 2015
