Hillsborough County Public Schools is the seventh largest school district in the nation, with over 220,000 students from extraordinarily diverse communities. Eight years ago the district created a STEM "playbook" outlining instructional frameworks for science and STEM education that included engineering opportunities aligned with NGSS SEPs for ALL students, and developed a complimentary out-of-school time program to accompany the instructional shifts in the classroom.
