Watkins-Nance Elementary-BLAST Magnet
Through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and Aerospace opportunities, students in the Richland One BLAST (Building Lasting Aerospace STEAM Trajectories) Magnet Program at Watkins Nance Elementary have unique opportunities to increase their science, technology, engineering and math skills while building awareness for aerospace. A rigorous, fast-paced curriculum challenges students from kindergarten through fifth grade to achieve high levels of engagement and success through our project-based learning units built upon South Carolina state standards.
To create a seamless transition, fifth-grade students in the Aerospace Magnet Program at Watkins Nance will automatically be enrolled in the sixth grade Aerospace Magnet Program at W.A. Perry Middle School.
