Green Home Construction
In order to build a "green home", an engineer must
determine the most efficient way to minimize the
impact to the environment.

Green Home Power and Sustainability
By integrating used materials with green technologies,
engineers will build a home that stays off the grid and
is constructed from recycled materials.

What is Defined STEM?
Defined STEM is Defined Learning's solution for providing real world relevance to students. Defined STEM is a web-based application designed to promote effective and relevant connections between 21st century learning skills and how those skills are used across all subjects and curriculum.
We do this by providing:
- "Connections" with career and curriculum based video used to explain core learning concepts and provide real world relevancy to 21st century learning skills.
- "Performance Tasks" that create a project based environment where students are challenged to solve a situation using a multi-disciplinary approach.
- "Literacy Tasks" apply the knowledge defined by the common core by provide students instructions to create an informational or argumentative product while using essential skills in reading and writing.
- "Real world interactive simulations" that create a virtual lab supported by activites in online lesson plans.
- Lesson plans and objectives that teachers can use to aid in the utilization of all the content in a connection.
