I practice STEMS^2 by integrating math and the social sciences with language arts and incorporating the STEMS^2 pillars of Aʻo, Makawalu, Moʻolelo, Sense of Place and Advocacy into my lessons. My students and I learn by teaching each other and listening to and sharing stories. This allows us to see and hear different perspectives. Sense of Place helps us to advocate for the places and living things we care about.
