About Elementary STEM
At Augusta Christian Schools, Elementary STEM is more than science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—it is an opportunity for students to explore God’s creation with curiosity, wonder, and purpose. STEM helps us to think critically about five things:
- What is creation saying about God?
- What does God want us to know about his creation?
- What does God want us to do with his creation?
- What is the proper role of science education in God’s creation?
- What damage is done by separating creator and creation?
Through hands-on learning, students connect classroom instruction with real-world discovery as they develop critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. Lessons are designed to help students see that science is not simply a collection of facts, but an adventure of discovery that points back to the Creator.
Students are introduced to coding, robotics, aerospace education, keyboarding, engineering concepts, and more. They have also participated in engaging learning opportunities with organizations and presenters such as the Georgia Cyber Center, the Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education Department, and Kaylee McCabe, former DIY Network television host.
Our STEM teacher works alongside classroom teachers to reinforce and extend what students are learning across subject areas. Through these experiences, students are being prepared not only to contribute to society, but to lead, innovate, and use their gifts to honor Christ.
