The SD Discovery Center has teamed up with SD EPSCoR to develop curriculum enhancement resources for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) teachers in middle- and high-school. The Education Portal houses a database with free curriculum modules that are based on scientific research occurring in South Dakota’s higher education institutions and that are aligned with the South Dakota Science Standards.

The curriculum modules were developed by a team of South Dakota STEM teacher leaders and have been tested in their classrooms. The modules provide lesson plans, activities, multi-media content, and the opportunity for you and your students to connect to the research scientists who are doing this work for in-person or virtual visits.
