Abstract
This paper discusses a collaboration between an American university and a newly designed American high school in China. The demand for STEM education has been a growing concern and demand for Chinese nationals. To answer this demand, the Chinese Ministry of Education has stated curricular units need to include innovative, creative, and student inquiry centered learning activities. Integrative STEM education is well suited as a platform to facilitate such learning objectives. However, current curriculum often teaches STEM content separately. This collaboration outlines a framework to STEMify existing curriculum, enhance teacher preparedness with STEM, and STEM education course design.
