STEM Symposium 2014

The second annual Wheeler STEM Symposium was held on March 11, 2014. It nearly doubled in scope and size from the inaugural symposium held just a year earlier. There were about 30 staff members participating from varied disciplines in math, science, engineering and technology as one would expect. However, subject areas of government, history, language arts, and agriculture also were represented, as the event demonstrated the epitome of cross-curricula collaborative project based learning. Besides the diversity of subject content, the inclusion of elementary and middle school students, and a MOID special education class, displayed the diversity and collaborative efforts across age levels and abilities. There were over 250 students that participated by displaying and demonstrating what they had learned and researched through the project based experience in and out of the classroom setting. Over 1000 visitors and guests experienced the synergy that radiated from our students in the classrooms, corridors, and hallways as they communicated to the guests about their project.

On behalf of the students and staff of Wheeler High School, East Cobb Middle School, Sedalia Park Elementary, East Valley Elementary, Mount Bethel Elementary, and the Center for Advanced Studies Foundation, who sponsored this event, we thank our guests, parents, and community members who came out to celebrate STEM with our students.
