Science Technology Education Program (STEP)

[edit]

Since the time of its inception in 1991, Lockerby's "Science Technology Education Program" (STEP) has offered programming for English and French Immersion students.[2]

STEP students entering Grades 9 and 10 study Science, Technological Design, Mathematics, and Social Science courses for the entire school year, which allows for participation in STEP Integration Days each week. Students work collaboratively on STEP Integration Days to broaden their technological and scientific investigation skills and engage in the engineering design process. STEP Integration Days also provide experiential learning, field trips, and mentorships opportunities through community partnerships. In Grades 11 and 12, STEP students choose to study a science and technology specialization based on their courses of interest: health sciences, engineering, computer science, or sustainable development.
