STEM students at Searcy Elementary School in Gallatin used one marshmallow and twenty spaghetti noodles to create a free-standing tower. Kindergarten through fourth grade participated in this activity. STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.
