Serious Games—Not just for entertainment!

Internet game and simulation technology is increasingly being used for education, training, advocacy and advertising. Role-playing simulations and other specialized "games" are used to train students, educators, businesses, government officials, and soldiers. 

The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition works to support STEM programs for teachers and students at the U. S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, and other agencies that offer STEM related programs.

The curriculum at McKinley Technology High School is structured to challenge students to be prepared for both future academic study and a world of technology-based employment. The integration of technological skills into content disciplines allows for students to experience the development of higher order thinking through hands-on experiences.
