Beehive Science and Technology Academy (BSTA) is a STEM-focused, charter school which uses iPads and other technology aided education tools. We serve grades K-12. BSTA offers courses and extended day activities that promote STEM, including computer science and advanced math courses, STEM expo projects and other STEM related activities. BSTA also prepares students for prestigious STEM competitions such as Robotics, Lego Robotics, MathCounts, Math Matters and state science fairs. College prep courses are offered with particular emphasis on STEM related industries so that Beehive students graduate ready to move on to their next level of education. The main objective is to develop students who possess critical thinking skills, mathematical reasoning, and complex problem-solving abilities, and who will be equipped for college matriculation and work-ready careers in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Project-based learning is at the center of BSTA’s STEM learning and certification programs, leading to increased student engagement, collaborative work ethic, and real-world culminating projects that showcase students’ understanding and acquisition of academic vocabulary, math conceptual mastery, problem-solving/reasoning skills, and computational fluency-automaticity. Every student in the school is issued an iPad that are used extensively in each classroom, as well as for major projects. Each year, all students participate in the Utah STEM Expo hosted by BSTA. iPads are particularly used for this event as students have to design a project, film it, put it on BSTA’s YouTube channel, and then demonstrate it in front of thousands of visitors.

Our vision is to promote a love of exploration, critical thinking, and creative problem solving that students can hold onto for their entire lives. We believe that STEM is more than just a collection of subjects. It is a way of thinking, learning, and approaching the world with curiosity and confidence.

At our school, students are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, and learn from both their successes and their mistakes. We connect STEM learning to the real world so children see how their creativity and effort can make a difference in their community and beyond. By working on hands-on projects, designing solutions, and collaborating with peers, students develop important skills like teamwork, communication, and resilience.

We want every child to see themselves as a problem solver and an innovator. Whether they dream of being an engineer, a teacher, an artist, or a doctor, the habits of mind developed through STEM (wonder, persistence, and critical thinking) will serve them for a lifetime.

Our vision is not only to prepare students for future careers but also to nurture their sense of purpose and confidence in shaping the world around them. By fostering a strong foundation in STEM, we empower students to become lifelong learners and leaders who are ready to meet challenges, embrace opportunities, and help create a brighter future for all.

Diamond Valley Elementary is committed to the principles of STEM education. All of our teachers have a shared commitment to help each student succeed and they do this by participating on multiple PLCs within the school. For example, there is a grade level PLC for each grade level. In addition, we have cross-grade level PLC teams where our K-2 teachers meet and our 3-5 teachers meet and they share students during RTI time. Furthermore, our school has an ALP (Advanced/Accelerated Learning Program) and our ALP teachers also have their own PLC team. Through the work of consistent collaboration, the students’ needs are always being addressed. Several of our teachers are currently participating in the STEM Endorsement through Dixie State University. We also have several more teachers on the waitlist to begin the endorsement as well. Our school has strong community partnerships where community businesses/partners come into the school to host a parent night called, “STEM Career Family Night” which is a great opportunity for students to get excited about what the future holds for them in the way of potential careers. It also helps the parents connect to the things that the students are learning at in school.

Spring Canyon Middle School is the first time students experience a secondary setting - it is so easy (and natural) to segment and chunk up curriculum. Two-thirds of our teachers are elementary in their training - they miss the curriculum connections that so naturally happen in an elementary classroom. Because of this, we are actively working with teachers and students to naturally connect curriculum areas. We have a "pod" system where our students keep together as a core unit for their math and language arts block (spread through three different teachers) - this natural connection leads to inter-curriculum concepts and projects. We also have a STEM class that all 6th grade students participate in. Between the pod classes, science classes, STEM classes that all students engage in, we actively look for cross-cutting concepts that permeate all subject areas. After all, STEM is about connecting all curriculum areas together.
