A World In Motion PreK-8 STEM

TODAY’S STUDENTS. TOMORROW’S INNOVATORS. 

The SAE Pre-K-8 STEM education program—A World In Motion® (AWIM)—is a hands-on, inquiry-based learning experience that brings STEM to life, setting young learners on a path of lifelong journey of personal discovery. Benchmarked to Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, AWIM offers engaging, real-world STEM challenges developed to the “engineering design experience” where students design, build, test, and present a solution/product. See the AWIM program in action:

AWIM puts tools in the hands of educators and families to spark interest and achievement in STEM subjects while sharpening problem solving and communication skills, providing a solid foundation to help students succeed in future education and career endeavors.
