The Colorado Avalanche are participating in a STEM course that’s based in hockey. The course uses hockey to help teach foundational math and science concepts, such as force and energy, rates and ratios, and states of matter.
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. Many schools have started to focus on these topics to better prepare students for careers in those fields. The courses start as young as kindergarten and continue into high school.
Yesterday, in honor of Tyson Tuesday, the team’s two Tysons — Tyson Barrie and Tyson Jost — visited Sunrise Elementary for a Future Goals appearance.
