Learning Blade is a system of interactive student online lessons, instructor lesson plans and printable at-home exercises for kids in grades five through nine. Middle-schoolers learn about high-demand STEM (science technology engineering, math), CTE (career technical education) and computer science vocations while reviewing academics.
Over 400 online lessons in human-centered “missions” or stories allow students to explore intriguing occupations that are connected with Alabama state criteria. Teachers can also access dozens of lesson ideas that promote innovative project-based learning and classroom activities using common materials. Salute to our students and teachers.
