The Learning by Making curriculum requires technology that allows students to interact with computer software, computer hardware, and experimental lab setups.

This month we are excited to put the spotlight on the UC-registered program, Learning by Making (LbyM). Housed at Sonoma State University, the program offers an integrated ninth-grade C-STEM curriculum that teaches basic coding and electronics skills as part of implementing selected NGSS performance expectations in life, earth and physical science.

The Learning by Making program contains many dimensions— from coding, to professional development, to career pathways— that, together, create a unique and innovative STEM learning experience.
