STEM Education in rural areas needs to meet students where they are at,
not push progress and advancement by utilizing non-relatable curriculums and
extensions. Rural community culture needs to be recognized and respected, as
well as incorporated into STEM learning in order to achieve the most beneficial
outcome for the student. The GO STEM Mobile Maker Lab is using & developing
curriculum influenced by students and supported by teachers to elevate rural
STEM Education.
