NYCDOE Vision for Science Education
Every New York City Public School student will
have a meaningful, rigorous, standards-aligned
education that allows them to develop identities
as scientists who investigate, create models,
solve problems and develop explanations to
make sense of the world around them.
Students at PS129 each participate in Computer Science before they move on to middle school to ..."ensure that by the end of 12th grade, all students possess sufficient
knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussion on
related issues, and have the skills to enter careers of their choice,
including (but not limited to) careers in science, engineering, and
technology.” (NRC Framework, page 1)
