ST 1.1 - The STEM school/program supports non-traditional student participation through outreach to groups often underrepresented in STEM program areas.
Red Cedar is a Project-Based Learning school which helps us bring learning to life through real-world learning experiences. As a Title-One School, we seek to involve every student and every family in STEM experiences; all grade levels from pre-k through 5th grade learn through interdisciplinary project-based units of study throughout the year. In addition to those units, all of our K-5 students participate in a Computer Technology related arts course.
Also, all students visit our maker-space/media center where they can build with Legos and use Clear-Touch boards in The Imagination Playground. Students individually have their own device to use in classrooms and our 3-5 grade students take their devices home with them.
Red Cedar Elementary provides the opportunity for all students, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status, to participate in learning through STEM. The current population for Red Cedar consists of 665 students. The demographics can be seen below:
