What is STEM? STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning, combining multiple academic subjects, with a focus on the real world impact of these lessons. It is about students applying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in relevant contexts that make connections for them between school, community, work, and the world around them. STEM education provides opportunities to create skills that move students forward to become stronger problem solvers and more creative innovators who can lead tomorrow’s global economy.
What makes an activity STEM-focused? • Student-centered and teacher-guided • Engages students in investigating questions that impact real world problems • Inquiry-based learning • Hands-on activities • Reinforces 21st century skills Orlando Science Center offers a wide array of STEM educational programs for students in Preschool – Grade 12. Additionally, the Science Center offers educator professional development programs that help educators bring STEM topics to life for students both in the classroom and during field trips, leveraging exhibits and activities to better support their curriculum. The Science Center believes that STEM education is essential for preparing future generations with the skills needed to enter the workforce and pursue vital and lucrative careers. The Science Center views STEM as an interdisciplinary approach to learning that uses content knowledge to solve problems in a real-world setting. Students will grasp the importance of these skills and concepts because they will be presented in a forum that is relevant to them. This Educator’s Guide is a useful tool for planning a field trip experience to Orlando Science Center, organizing a virtual program, or selecting a STEM 2 Go program that can be delivered in a classroom or auditorium. Our goal is always to provide meaningful experiences for you and your students. If you ever have any questions or need assistance selecting a program that best meets your educational objectives and budgetary needs, please contact us at 407.514.2112.

But before she can complete her experiment, Dana’s new upstairs neighbor Mateo finds her magical Dino Field Guide, which allows him to see dinosaurs in real life too. This discovery kicks off a prehistoric journey bigger than anything Dana has ever faced before. When Mateo is dino-napped by a T-Rex, who thinks he’s one of her babies, it’s up to Dana, her sister Saara, and Mateo’s older stepbrother Jadiel to get him back. Along the way, Dana and her friends will race through a stampede of Triceratops, take on a Spinosaurus, get beak to nose with a Quetzalcoatlus, and come to realize that family, whether human or Jurassic, is the most important quest of all.
