任务
The Deer Park Science & Technology Department seeks to engage all students in the process of investigating and interacting with the world around them to learn about the natural and designed worlds and their connections to everyday life. We teach students the tools, skills and understandings they need to ask questions, to solve problems, to make informed claims based on data and supported by evidence. We prepare students for life, by providing them with meaningful hands-on experiences, and by fostering excitement & enthusiasm about the world, and their place in it, while preparing them to consider careers in the fields of science & 技术. 最重要的是, we strive to help students become 订婚了, productive members of society, and to remember and apply what they learn in our classes to their own lives, long after they leave Deer Park.
