The Monroe County Community School Corporation values the enhancement of student learning through hands-on collaboration, problem solving, and the use of technology to prepare our students for the 21st century. Students are encouraged to work with their peers to create and improve prototypes both physically and digitally, integrating engineering, design, and art. One component of this work is computer science. By integrating computer science, which includes digital citizenship, block- and text-based coding, computational thinking, productive technology, and the use of the engineering design process, our students learn to think critically and problem solve as well as be better prepared for the workforce. Our STEM to Them teacher supports teachers in Pre-K through 6^th grade by leading standards-aligned lessons using the STEM to Them Mobile Lab and through collaborative lesson planning and instruction on the use of various STEM equipment available to all of our schools.

Our work aligns with the Indiana Department of Education's legislation regarding computer science and STEM instruction.
