School City of Hammond is working to boost its STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education offerings. The school board last week approved a bid from 1st Maker Space to install makerspaces at Hammond Central and Morton high schools, as well as Eggers and Scott middle schools.

Teachers in three local schools will sharpen their skills when it comes to STEM education. The Gary Community School Corporation's Bailly STEM Academy and Gary Middle School for the Visual & Performing Arts and School City of East Chicago's Joseph Block Middle School are among the 15 Indiana schools taking part in a STEM coaching program.

A Gary middle school is being recognized for its efforts in teaching science, technology, engineering and math. Bailly STEM Academy is now officially a STEM Certified School.

Valparaiso High School is offering STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education opportunities that aren't even available at many colleges, according to teacher Tarik El-Naggar.

Some Northwest Indiana school corporations have gotten funding to boost their science, technology, engineering and math programs. The School City of Hammond was awarded $100,000 in STEM Acceleration Grant funding from the Indiana Department of Education. The Griffith and LaPorte school corporations each got about $75,000.
