At Square One we know that schools want to equip their STEM teachers with state of the art skills and technology. Unfortunately, you’re working with an ever more challenging budget. You need a cost-effective way to build STEM Career Awareness and engage students in project based learning, while also facing ever increasing pressures to maintain evaluations, solidify enrollment, engage stakeholders, and improve test scores, all to maintain state funding.
We believe no educators should have to forfeit their students’ access to authentic & engaging STEM projects, due to limited time and funding. That’s the value of our NETWORK – we partner with K-12 educators, higher education and industry. Square One provides personalized service, offering programs that leverage Next Generation Science Standards to enhance and enrich your existing curriculum, and an affordable cost.
“Square one by far puts on some of the best hands on professional development that I have participated in. There is always collaboration and teamwork and a pure thought of pedagogy. Square one has also created student competitions that are feasible and fiscally responsible for school districts. I can not say enough positive words and how excited I am when I see Barb Land and what she is directing. Great Job!”

“I love it (Square One IVD Program) because it is the Project in PBL. The NGSS is all about learning in context, not memorized isolated concepts and formulas. Square One programming gives me the context in which to apply classroom concepts and the opportunity to engage in the engineering cycle of continuous improvement. It is invaluable to what I do with my classes!”
