  • Revolutionizing Education: STEM Transformation in Woodland Hills

In the 2022-23 academic year, Woodland Hills School District undertook a transformative journey to robustly incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) into its K-12 curriculum. This presentation, co-hosted by Jason and Superintendent Dr. Dan Castagna, provides an in-depth exploration of this innovative shift. We'll share the strategies employed to introduce dynamic STEM learning experiences, highlight the challenges faced, and the remarkable outcomes achieved. From 'Flex Your VEX' days, a program aimed at engaging students with hands-on robotics, to comprehensive computer science education, we've fostered an environment where every student is encouraged to explore, experiment, and excel. Join us as we discuss the power of STEM, our journey of implementation, and the transformative effect on our student community. Our story is not just about a curriculum change - it's about empowering the next generation of STEM leaders, and we invite you to learn from our experiences
