STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is used in Jeffco to describe a way of learning which embraces interdisciplinary instruction applied to solve community-based problems. This teaching philosophy encompasses all disciplines, including science, technology, engineering and math, and is sometimes called Problem- or Project-Based Learning (PBL).
Many schools within Jeffco are embracing this teaching philosophy, but calling it different names. To develop common language both inside and outside the District, Jeffco has developed a logo based on the words ‘applied imagination’ (AI).
AI schools are embracing PBL across all or part of their buildings, and many have chosen to use a logo including STEM.
