Lincolnwood School District 74, as a Pre-K through grade 8 district, is working to strengthen our knowledge of STEM education for both students and faculty. This is especially important as our Niles Township High Schools have new STEM labs and STEM Inquiry and Research (SIRS) classes that will allow our students to collaborate with each other and to carry out sophisticated research and communicate with professionals who act as mentors when they reach the high school. The STEM facilities at our high schools feature state of the art laboratory equipment and are laid out to promote collaboration and cooperation among students to “push” each other. This inspirational SSEP project to have students design experiments for space is pushing us to try new initiatives in our Pre-K through grade 8 district that will improve our methods of learning and education far into the future.
