Today’s students are learning more than just traditional subjects—they’re gaining the skills needed to navigate a technology-driven world. In classrooms across Provo City School District, kids actively engage in coding, robotics, engineering, and science, preparing them for a future filled with innovation and opportunity.

Jessica Kempter’s at Spring Creek Elementary, students receive hands-on STEM instruction through activities that help them build real-world skills. From programming robots to follow specific paths, to exploring geometry through interactive tools like Ozobots and building slingshot cars to understand physics, these activities connect classroom lessons to the technology-driven world outside.

In one lesson, students write simple code, learning how computers process instructions to bring their ideas to life. In another, they design and test engineering projects, facing challenges that require creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. These experiences allow students to understand core STEM concepts and apply them in practical, meaningful ways.

What makes these lessons so effective is their hands-on nature. Students don’t just read about coding or engineering—they do it. They experiment, make mistakes, and problem-solve, learning perseverance and collaboration. For example, when students work with Sphero Bolts or Ozobots, they’re not just programming robots to move; they’re learning how to think critically, troubleshoot issues, and refine their approaches. These skills are crucial for their future careers in fields that are increasingly dependent on technology and innovation.

The beauty of these STEM activities is how they integrate seamlessly into the daily classroom routine. Whether students are rotating through STEM activities once a week or diving into deeper projects over longer periods, these lessons fit into various schedules and teaching models. Teachers have the flexibility to adapt the lessons to meet their students’ needs, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to these valuable skills.

Incorporating STEM into the classroom isn’t about adding more to teachers’ already full plates. Instead, it’s about empowering students to think critically, embrace new technologies, and explore the world through a lens of creativity and problem-solving. These hands-on experiences are helping to shape a generation of innovators who will not only adapt to the future but help create it.

As technology continues to integrate into all aspects of life, the importance of STEM education grows. By providing students with the opportunity to explore coding, robotics, and engineering in the classroom, they’re gaining the tools to succeed in an increasingly complex world. The next generation of engineers, programmers, and scientists is already at work, right in the classroom—learning today to innovate tomorrow.
