What is STEM?
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. Sailing is a natural platform to teach these concepts. Boats themselves are products of engineering and math, are propelled through the environment by natural forces, and have developed over centuries with the advancement of technology. Participants are able to learn concepts by experiencing real life examples on and near the water.
Returning this season, we are offering a one week STEM program. We are building the lessons to integrate with science curriculum in schools. Lessons will be adaptable to the grade level of the participant.
