Abstract
In 2013, Harmony Public School (HPS) started a program called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Student on the Stage (STEM SOS) with the help of a Race to the Top District grant (RTT-D). Instead of traditional, long-term in-class PBL projects, Harmony Public School’s STEM SOS model incorporates three different levels of STEM SOS projects.
