The Academy of Information Technology and Engineering (AITE), a college preparatory, public magnet high school in Stamford, Connecticut, has collaborated with TCR for the past decade to offer a variety of extracurricular STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs to its students. This collaboration inspired TCR to create the Best We Can Be program to introduce students to careers in STEM. Best We Can Be uses Health Information Technology as a foundation to explore many interdisciplinary connections. As the program has grown, students asked for additional learning experiences related to business, entrepreneurship, and personal development (study habits, critical thinking, team work, etc.). The program’s emphasis on HIT and STEM topics provides many opportunities to weave in lessons that develop these practical skills.
