Bringing STEM into the school day by embedding design challenges and robotics into the K-5 math & science curriculum 🤖👩‍💻👨‍🔬

[PCS Elementary STEM @PCS_ElemSTEM]

Our @my_pcs 5th graders LOVE using @VEXRobotics in their science lab and teachers love the hands-on #STEM connection to our standards. 🏎🏁#STEMPinellas
