Where Place Meets Purpose: How Interdisciplinary STEM Turns Local Landscapes into Dynamic Learning Labs

By Guest Author, Dr. Angela McDaniel 

When students enter a classroom, they bring their world with them—the mountains, streets, waterways, farms, factories, stories, and histories that shape who they are. Yet too often, school asks them to leave that world at the door. Place-based, interdisciplinary STEM challenges that old paradigm. It invites students to learn through the landscapes they know, connect content across disciplines, and solve problems that matter to their families and communities.

About the Author:  Dr. Angela McDaniel is a West Virginia–based educator, curriculum designer, and program coordinator for the STEAM Technical Assistance Center at West Virginia University.
