The "Double-O-STEM" (educator guide) curriculum consists of STEM problem-solving activities. The curriculum is designed around projects that empower learners to apply STEM to creatively problem-solve community issues. These include designing bike lanes, community gardens, and other exciting STEM problems.

The activities are designed for both librarians and STEM educators. The curriculum is especially aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS (engineering; grades 3-5) and American Association of School Librarians (AASL) standards.

In this course learners will look at the wide spread diagnosis of ADHD among primary school aged children from the prospective of the instructors and administrators. The course will begin with researching the disorder and how to recognize its symptoms. The course will progress into medical diagnosis, medical treatments, common school accommodations, proposed alternative treatments then concluding with students researching classroom practices and discussing how practices help and hinder students with ADHD and how the proposed alternatives may be implemented to combat those common educator tactics that are perceived to hinder students with ADHD.

The post-pandemic era has led to changes in education, with technology playing a vital role. Teachers and students face challenges related to technological literacy. To address these challenges, investing in infrastructure, providing professional development, and developing digital skills in students are important. Blended learning, incorporating face-to-face and online activities, is a potential solution. Theories like constructivism and Bloom's Taxonomy can guide teaching. Flexible approaches such as project-based learning and the flipped classroom, along with technology tools and resources, support technology literacy. Implementing these approaches empowers students with skills for the digital age. 

The post-pandemic era presents significant challenges in education, especially in technology integration. The Flexible Teaching Solution for Exploring Technological Literacy Challenges addresses these issues by emphasizing the importance of technological literacy and proposing effective solutions. Teachers face challenges such as limited technology access and proficiency, pedagogical adaptation, and the need for professional development. Students encounter difficulties with technology access, digital skills, self-regulation, motivation, equity, and inclusion. To overcome these challenges, investments in infrastructure, professional development, and inclusive policies are crucial. Blended learning, integrating face-to-face and online instruction, is a potential solution. Implementing the flexible teaching approach involves using various technology tools and platforms, open educational resources, and digital assessments. This dynamic learning environment fosters 21st-century skills in students.

Durante este proyecto, los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de investigar, experimentar, diseñar y colaborar en la creación de soluciones sustentables que aborden problemas reales relacionados con el medio ambiente. A través de actividades prácticas, reflexión crítica y diálogo constructivo, esperamos despertar su pasión por la sustentabilidad y nutrir su compromiso con el cuidado de nuestra casa común.
