The academy provides a flexible 1-3 week program with project-based learning that integrates reading and math skills into high-interest STEM experiences.
The Minneapolis Public Schools GEMS-GISE STEM Blast Academy offers engaging, project-based learning experiences for students in grades 5-8. The program focuses on explorations of science and mathematics, integrating engineering and technology concepts through hands-on and minds-on activities. Students will gain skills in mechanical design, construction, programming, and teamwork through challenges like designing, building, and flying drones, exploring solar energy, and balsawood engineering. The curriculum emphasizes real-world connections and career explorations in STEM fields, aiming for measurable and significant gains in mathematics and science. The program also offers opportunities to investigate key concepts in energy, electricity, and electronics, including circuits, magnetism, conservation, and alternative energy sources.
A typical day includes project-based and problem-based learning, active investigative discovery, and a half hour of recess.
This program is ideal for middle school students eager to explore STEM fields through hands-on projects and real-world applications.
