See STEM in Action!
Navajo is proud to be a STEM focus school
The following are things we are doing right now to advance that focus:
- We have hired a Science Specialist who coordinates all things science.
- We have retained our Technology Specialist who coordinates all things related to technology. Together, our Science and Technology Specialists work to coordinate those STEM initiatives we adopt.
- Lego Robotics have been incorporated into many of our technology classes.
- The ASU School of Sustainability has agreed to provide us with a meteorological station, giving us access to real time weather data that connects to our science curriculum. They will be doing research on watershed using Navajo as one of many points of data collection, and will be working with Navajo students on a variety of weather related labs this spring.
- The ASU Ira Fulton School of Engineering continues to work closely with us to implement a program they have designed specifically for Navajo. Science & Engineering Enriching the Development of Students (SEEDS) will bring high interest lab activities, after school clubs, field trips for Navajo students, and professional development for our teachers.
- We are working with Project Astro to provide Navajo students with access to an astronomer and his equipment so that they have greater exposure to concepts involving seasons, solar systems, constellations, and phases of the moon.
- We are working with NASA and their 3-D View Science Education Program to enrich our science curriculum.
- We are in the process of developing lunchtime clubs that promote various topics in science.
- And to guide it all, we have a Steering Committee in place that oversees all we do with respect to our STEM focus.

Our Real-Time Weather Station is Here!
It’s here at last. Navajo has its very own weather station above B wing and it’s hooked up, tracking data, and ready to go. You may now check out many of the outside weather conditions right here at our very own school! Be sure to check out the big display box on the demonstration table in the lab when you’re in there next time. Very useful for all of those weather units many of our teachers are teaching. Enjoy!
