Leadership FOR (STEM) Learning

D.A.T.E. extends an array of opportunities to our scholars.  Our students are able to work digitally in both collaborative and individual capacities in class and at home. We are a one-to-one technology school where we ensure equity for all students by providing access to a computer device and digital resources 365 days a year. Each summer, students have opportunities to attend a STEM/STEAM camp to enrich them with continuous learning opportunities, during the extended break from the classroom. 

D.A.T.E. partners with a number of entities to afford our scholars engaging experiences with STEM practitioners, community experts and other STEM professionals that have connected with the school to contribute to our College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) efforts while preparing them to compete in a real-world professional environment and strive in this 21st Century era. We are developing our scholars’ minds to gear toward pursuing careers as scientists, technicians, engineers, artists, and mathematicians, just to name a few.  During our Career Days held twice a year, we bring in various professionals; veterinarians, farmers, software developers, aviation engineers, and pilots, financial analysts, biomedical engineers, computer systems engineers, forensic science technicians, and civil, mechanical and chemical engineers. All students have an opportunity to hear from these professionals and ask questions to panels to get a better understanding of how their day to day operations work in the real world.  Other accelerated marginal groups such as high achievers earn the privilege to participate in internships that give them on the job work experience. These outstanding students are equipped to teach and mentor their peers who various times accompany us on our STEM/STEAM Dream Team Mobile Lab to assist them as they teach science, technology, engineering, art, and math to children ages 3-5.
