In Eighth grade, STEM proficient students will learn and apply rigorous content within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines to answer complex questions, to investigate global issues, and to develop solutions for challenges and real world problems. Additionally, through the use of technology, students will interpret data and communicate data to research solutions for world challenges. Furthermore, students will be exposed to engineering design challenges that are more project based and student led. The students will move through  modules collaboratively  to learn to solve complex problems, to communicate clearly, to raise and resolve questions, to assimilate information, and to work cooperatively toward common goals.
