Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)

Minnesota Computers for Schools provides high school science teachers with computers, software and training for interactive science education. Minnesota Computers for Schools’ refurbished computers come with Atomsmith^® software – a unique interactive science program that brings molecular science concepts to life. Atomsmith allows students to see the shapes and behaviors of molecules and to interact with them, shedding light on topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, gas laws and phases of matter. Atomsmith chemistry simulation labs enable teachers to make their instruction more clear, powerful and engaging, thereby improving students’ comprehension and retention of the subject.

Minnesota Computers for Schools furthers Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning by supporting FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics and Lego League teams with laptops required to run FIRST-supplied software programs. Minnesota Computers for Schools is also launching “Computers to Classrooms” in partnership with the Minnesota High Tech Association to award grant dollars and needed technology to a STEM educator who demonstrates innovation and leadership in the classroom.
