US educational reform is long overdue. Days Creek Charter School was formed to reinvent education for rural students in Douglas County, Oregon. Educators at Days Creek School welcome innovation and embrace STEM curricula as a means to fulfill our mission "to provide a 21st Century education in a small country school." However, it is difficult for teachers who have no STEM field experience to develop curricula without help from experts in STEM careers. This project will connect teachers from Days Creek with scientists, computer programmers, engineers, mathematicians and others at McKinstry Essention, an energy-savings contracting company, to develop and implement STEM units related to the recent conversion from a diesel-fueled heating system to a biomass-fueled boiler at Days Creek School.
