SCIENCE

We live in a world increasingly dominated by science and technology. As the cornerstone of
STEM, the ISD194 science department is training the next generation of scientists and developing
responsible citizens through inquiry experiences and opportunities to embrace powerful subject
matter. All students need the ability to understand the nature of the world around them to make
informed choices and decisions through firsthand experience.
Students looking to pursue post-secondary education are strongly encouraged to consider a
minimum of 8 semesters of science coursework throughout their 9th-12th grade academic career.

STEM ENGINEERING INNOVATION (LNHS)

STEM Engineering Innovation at Lakeville North High School
offers unique courses in Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics. Students will learn the fundamentals of
manufacturing, engineering and design technology. Students will
start in an introductory course and advance their way through
higher-skilled courses, culminating in a capstone project during
their senior year that reflects all the skills they’ve learned.

Mission Statement

Lakeville North High School Engineering Innovation Pathway
provides students opportunities to explore interests, skill sets,
and career options through a variety of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM) experiences. Courses are grounded
in collaboration and real-world experiences that prepare students for career certification, 2 year
and 4 year post-secondary options. Students will learn to collaborate using the engineering design
process while utilizing a large variety of new technological equipment.

Different Pathways

STEM Engineering Innovation at Lakeville North offers three different pathways with specific courses
for each. The three pathways are:

• Engineering and Technology Innovation Pathway
• Manufacturing and Welding Pathway
• Architecture and Computer Aided Design Pathway
