What is STEM?
STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning, combining multiple academic subjects, with a
focus on the real world impact of these lessons. It is about students applying science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics in relevant contexts that make connections for them between school, community, work,
and the world around them. STEM education provides opportunities to create skills that move students
forward to become stronger problem solvers and more creative innovators who can lead tomorrow’s
global economy.
What makes an activity STEM-focused?
• Student-centered and teacher-guided
• Engages students in investigating questions that impact real world problems
• Inquiry-based learning
• Hands-on activities
• Reinforces 21st century skills
Orlando Science Center offers a wide array of STEM educational programs for students in preschool –
Grade 12. Additionally, the Science Center offers educator professional development programs that help
educators bring STEM topics to life for students both in the classroom and during field trips, leveraging
exhibits and activities to better support their curriculum.
The Science Center believes that STEM education is essential for preparing future generations with the
skills needed to enter the workforce and pursue vital and lucrative careers. The Science Center views
STEM as an interdisciplinary approach to learning that uses content knowledge to solve problems in a
real-world setting. Students will grasp the importance of these skills and concepts because they will be
presented in a forum that is relevant to them. This Educator’s Guide is a useful tool for planning a
field trip experience to Orlando Science Center, organizing a virtual program, or selecting a
STEM 2 Go program that can be delivered in a classroom or auditorium.
Our goal is always to provide meaningful experiences for you and your students. If you ever have any
questions or need assistance selecting a program that best meets your educational objectives and
budgetary needs, please contact us at 407.514.2112.

AND INTO ANCIENT ITALY
IN THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXHIBITION
POMPEII:
THE IMMORTAL CITY
October 26, 2020 – January 24, 2021
In just 24 hours, Pompeii and neighboring Herculaneum
were buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount
Vesuvius in 79 CE.
The site was lost for centuries and remained almost entirely
untouched until 1748. Today, the most advanced scientific
research brings to light the extraordinary achievements of
Pompeii and the Roman world.
Plunge into the heart of the drama and ruins of the ancient
city of Pompeii. Spectacular immersive moments allow you
to experience the destruction of the city and to identify with
the inhabitants of that time, immobilized by the volcano’s
ashes.
Through artwork, interactive mechanical devices, and
multimedia experiences, you will embark on a journey
through time into the daily life of a first-century Roman
town.
Find yourself in the center of events as you hear and feel the
roar of the volcano erupting before your eyes. Discover how
the excavation of Pompeii in the 18th century influenced the
development of archaeology as a scientific study. Play the
role of archaeologist through the use of digital interactives
and replicas of artifacts from Pompeii.
