Service-Learning and STEM

Posted by Million Girls Moonshot on January 23, 2024

Service-learning and STEM have multiple connections and similarities. Those include:

  • The processes for STEM and service-learning are very similar.
  • STEM curriculum encourages an investigative model, the Engineering Design Process, that is like the IPARDE (Investigate, Prepare, Action, Reflection, Demonstration, and Evaluation) model used to complete a service-learning project.
  • By simply involving students in a service-learning project that employs the IPARDE process, students in ANY content area are engaged in STEM.
