40 EDUCATE %u00b7 AFFIRM %u00b7 INSPIREMIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMSScience, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM)Using state-of-the-art technology, and through a partnership with the Amazon Future Engineers Program, the STEM program at LSMS will engage students in personalized and game-like learning experiences to acquire the coding fundamentals needed to master basic literacy in the digital age. Students are engaged in a fully project-based learning model that leverages 21st Century learning that emphasizes learning, literacy, and life skills through the 4Cs - critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, digital citizenship, coding languages, timed coding exercises, computer and civil engineering activities, and robotics. Students also participate in the First Lego League competitions that provide a fun, competitive, and real-world application of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills acquired through STEM education.Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math (STEAM)The Arts are integrated into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning experiences in the STEAM program at Congress Middle School. Students engage in a rigorous curriculum designed to stimulate artistic creativity through technology rich, project%u2013based learning while simultaneously promoting academic achievement through the study of STEM disciplines. Students also develop an understanding of the significance of the arts as they acquire knowledge and understanding of the core academic STEM subjects and standards. STEAM students can design and produce objects using 3%u2013D printers in an interdisciplinary STEAM Innovation Lab or design, program, and test robots using advanced robotics software. They can participate in the Piano/Keyboarding Composition Lab, learn to play orchestral instruments, or learn different styles of Dance in a Dance studio and have the opportunity to participate in other arts classes.SciQuestThe SciQuest Academy is a challenging, project%u2013based curriculum that explores the world of science with hands%u2013on activities and stimulating technologies. Students investigate real world science using inquiry based activities to build a deeper understanding of scientific concepts such as physics, chemistry, biology, Earth science, space, and computer technology. This three year program is intended to develop and prepare science enriched students for the future. Students can expect to research, design, model and complete projects that are applicable to the real world as they take their ideas through the complete inquiry or engineering process.Spanish Dual LanguageThe Spanish Dual Language program offers a continuation for students who have been in a Spanish Dual Language program at the elementary level or who have a high level of Spanish language proficiency. Highly motivated students are engaged in a challenging academic environment in which three of their core academic courses are taught in Spanish. Eligibility: Eligible score on a Spanish assessment.
