Academic Lab During the 2013-14 school year we will be implementing a web-based resource called Defined STEM in Academic Lab *What is STEM? STEM is an acronym that stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. *What is DefinedSTEM? DefinedSTEMis a web-based resource from Defined Learning, an educational company with roots in both media and curriculum development. The Kyrene School District has purchased a subscription allowing access to this resource. Defined STEM is a project-based learning curriculum based around a career theme. It depicts real-world jobs and how science and math would be used in those jobs. It aligns with state standards, national standards, and the new Common Core standards.
