STEM

Science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM for short - are subjects that develop problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills.  Regardless of their future career path, students need a solid understanding of these concepts.  Our work helps ensure that our students have access to the intellectual capital needed to lead and participate in a technology-driven world.

STEM Innovation Hub

While we about equipping our kids to surpass us, we want to keep up with them as much as possible. That’s why we’ve created the STEM Innovation Hub to provide professional development and learning opportunities for teachers, principals, parents and staff from community organizations.

We are the managing partner of the Hub acting as both the fiscal agent and driving force to create a center where teachers, principals, non-profit organizations, and leaders from business and industry work together to redesign how our children learn about science, technology, engineering, and math. The Hub has great opportunity to advance the quality of STEM resources in southeast Tennessee.

The Hamilton County STEM School is part of the Hamilton County school district and partners with the Southeast Tennessee STEM Innovation Hub.

Opened to a freshman class in August 2012 and located at Chattanooga State Community College, the school is a high-tech center for innovative learning. Teachers at the STEM school focus on project-based learning that gives students the chance to explore real-world problems and challenges while working in small collaborative teams. Teachers keep students active and engaged. Students gain a deeper knowledge across all subject matter.
