A STEM program in a school setting provides a space where students can explore past the regular classroom and an environment to ask questions, try different ways to solve a problem, and start discussions with one another about what they are doing. STEM is a broad term that groups together the academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
The Newburg School District was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from State Farm to assist with their Audio Engineering STEM program. The course sequence is part of the district’s Audio/Video Career and Technical Education offerings where students at each level work together to design, create and utilize analog and digital audio components to create quality audio products. By the end of the sequence, students will be able to run their own musical recording session, and will be prepared after graduation to enter the sound design, electrical/audio engineering and manufacturer career fields.
