Thank You to our Community Partners
Mendoza has participated and partnered with the AZ STEM Community of Practice for the past four years to build our STEM education program. Arizona SciTech, the state’s leading innovator and proponent of STEM education, provides a joint initiative between high-tech businesses, community members, educators, students, and parents to create the AZ STEM School Community of Practice. Through this process, our Mendoza team has participated in professional development with Intel, Honeywell, the Arizona Science Center, and the Maricopa Education Service Agency to design innovative lessons and opportunities for students. Since its founding, the AZ STEM Community of Practice has collaborated with 57 forward-thinking, creative schools dedicated to sharing best practices and finding solutions to educate our students in the field of STEM and prepare them for the high-tech needs of the future.
