The partnership between elementary school District 23 and High School District 214 has inspired some students to consider careers in STEM fields.
Filip Dudic, an applied technologies teacher at MacArthur Middle School in Prospect Heights, interacts with eighth graders during a robotics class on Jan. 11, 2023.
Angelaccio noted the shift in education to applied skills as opposed to the previous emphasis on the theoretical steps of a research project or paper. “I think about my younger son and how being home for so long made it hard to go back. Having something to have fun with makes it easier,” Dudic said. “There’s a lot of choice in STEM classes, a lot of projects, and not necessarily the same thing day to day. If we’re doing a 3D printing project, you could be making a keychain or an ornament, or it could be anything.”
District 23 also partners with District 214′s WildStang Robotics Program, sharing space at MacArthur with the high school students mentoring the younger kids. “It’s like we’re onto the next level this semester,” she said. “We’re ready for it and we know we can ask questions and figure it out together.”Glinko, who grew up watching her dad use computers and technology to fix car engines, has already started toying with the idea of a career in a STEM field and has plans to take similar classes in high school.
Students working together and asking each other questions about how they did this or that enriches the learning experience and propels it forward, Nystrom said.
