STEM/STEAM
VISION
It is our vision in Bibb County School District to provide challenging learning opportunities to help motivate and encourage all our students. We would like our students to leave us possessing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills to become successful innovators in our society.
MISSION
It is our mission to engage students in classroom environments that help students learn about careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math, along with encouraging teachers to integrate subjects when teaching, allowing students to work collaboratively on tasks with peers, and to practice solving real-world problems.
Both STEM and STEAM education in our district are defined by purposeful integration of science and mathematics, language arts, and social studies to offer potential solutions to real-world problems. The Bibb County School District will accomplish this integration of subjects through problem/project-based learning (PBL), claim-evidence-reasoning (CER), and support from community partnerships.
