S.T.E.A.M. Capstone

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics
APPLICATION CLICK HERE

In an ever-changing, increasingly complex world, it's more important than ever that our nation's youth are
prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve problems, make sense of information, and know how to gather
and evaluate evidence to make decisions. These are the kinds of skills that students develop in science,
technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, including computer science—disciplines collectively known as
STEAM. If we want a nation where our future leaders can understand and solve complex challenges and meet
the demands of the dynamic and evolving workforce, then building students' skills, content knowledge, and
literacy in STEAM fields is essential.

The S.T.E.A.M. Capstone program at the Black Horse Pike Regional School District is an interdisciplinary
program designed to provide a strong educational foundation for students planning to pursue careers in
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and/or Mathematics. Students who are accepted into S.T.E.A.M.
Capstone are responsible to design and present a capstone project in the Spring at Camden County College
and will receive 2.50 credits provided they successfully complete the capstone project.

Requirements for Application

Grade level: 10th, 11th, or 12th

Required Courses
○ Mathematics: Completion of Geometry A/Honors with at least 80%
○ Science: Completion of Physics A/Honors with at least 80%
○ Tech Ed: Strongly recommended to be enrolled in Design & Tech 1 or completed with at least
80%

Students will work closely with an advisor throughout the process of designing a capstone project and
presenting it at Camden County College. This project is a culminating experience calling upon students to
utilize a vast amount of skills and knowledge learned throughout high school. The projects will ask students to
research a chosen topic, create their own experiment, analyze their own results of this experiment, and
disseminate the results of the project. This experience must show interdisciplinary connections as related to a
career including an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
