6. STEM Anthem
STEM! STEM!
Identify a problem in the community
Have your students solve it and soon they will be
Ready to collaborate and able to communicate
Using science, tech, engineering and math
With a group of our peers, yea we react
Giving solutions that are making sense
To this global audience
Chorus:
STEM is a method of teaching
Yea engaging all across the curriculum
Challenge-based,and an authentic way
Of having inquiry instruction
Yea, problems for real life that we simulate
To prepare our students for the workplace
Prepare us for jobs of the 21st century
We’re working together, thinking - critically
To solve problems and make decisions
With our creative intuition
Using science, tech, engineering and math
We use modern tools to document
And prepare for high tech careers
Like creative engineers
STEM! STEM!
