Abstract for the conference program
The Mr. Cardiotone Enterprises’ STEM Fitness Academy International (SFAI) Curriculum is categorized as an R1 project in progress. The curriculum shows teachers how to build a gradual and systematic continuing STEM education program for preschoolers as they transition into the primary, secondary and post-secondary classroom. The SFAI curriculum also uses the STEM Chessboard Game which is a 64-block, daily lesson plan geared toward specific teaching and student learning (blended contexts) in an ongoing STEM education. As a multi-faceted curriculum, SFAI has a dual purpose of not only STEM education but an integrated, recreational wellness and fitness program which simultaneously combats childhood obesity and diabetes.
