, 2015 Web-Based STEM Curriculum for Rural High Schools1. IntroductionSTEM related technology and pre-engineering programs in rural high schools have alwaysstruggled because of the small number of students in the community to draw from. Mostrural schools require the instructors to teach five or more different subjects. The teachingload placed on these teachers makes it difficult for instructors to specialize and be certified inany one subject and instead requires them to be stretched thin across multiple areas providingminimal knowledge in each course. The cost of a technology lab, software, and trained(certified) instructor is cost prohibitive to most small rural school districts. These problemslead to many high school students
