OLL School Strong on STEM
Our Lady of the Lake School is known for its strong STEM curriculum with specialized instruction in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math at every grade level.
The annual Science Fair celebrates the STEM focus as eighth graders showcase their ingenuity and skills. Every year, as a right of passage, eighth graders must select a topic, keep records, plan and then process their experiment, documenting the scientific method with their hypothesis and the experiment results as they do so. Their experiments and results are remarkable as is their enthusiasm.
This year, OLL School has a STEM teacher who facilitates experiments and also directs student use of the 3-D printer in the Maker Lab. The students are engaged as they enjoy putting science experiments to work such as the egg drop - where students cushion an egg with materials to absorb a drop and not break.
Strong STEM curriculum prepares students with the science and creative aptitude to be tomorrows leaders.
