2019 “Education making a difference” LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Thursday, Jan. 24, 2019 Page 13 focus on specific jobs, we will talk more about a student’s natural aptitudes and interests. By helping them identify these, it is our hope that students can begin to think about which jobs they may want to do or the classes they may want to take in high school to prepare them for a career they can be passionate about.” Coffey said, “In addition, we are opening the door to a learning style that will help students feel more successful. It is more hands-on and highly engaging.” In December, the first group of students from LJHS participated in a Robotics competition and Coffey said, “The teachers and students have so much to learn but it was an exciting day and we definitely see an interest in this type of learning.” STEM has value in the classrooms because technology and innovation are such a big part of our world and its economy today. As Coffey noted, “By forming partnerships with community groups like the Logan County 4-H and Lincubate, we hope to target a group of students who have an interest in technology. By taking the time to develop their interests now, we are helping to produce a qualified and skilled workforce that could help Lincoln grow its economy.” [Angela Reiners] Related link: http://www.csitheexperience.org/
