STEM Education at Los Reyes ES

In the Los Reyes STEM Lab, students will:

  • Identify problems, design innovative and creative solutions, conduct tests, evaluate results, and redesign while developing grit and determination.
  • Collect and analyze data to explore STEM concepts and ideas.
  • Select and apply appropriate tools and concepts of science, technology, and math to justify their engineering design based on evidence and logical reasoning.
  • Clearly communicate their ideas and designs with peers, give and receive constructive feedback, and use a variety of communication tools.

During each visit, the 4 STEM Fluency Skills will be honed: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. We also work on the social-emotional skills of self-control, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.


When visiting the STEM Lab, Los Reyes students will experience hands-on activities in Science, Robotics, Coding, as well as various Engineering Units.
