A different way to see the beauty industry.
coSTEMology begins with a simple premise: cosmetology and personal care are already rich with science, mathematics, technology and engineering. The pathway makes that academic content explicit.
Teach the science, math and technology inside beauty services explicitly.
Students should be able to recognize the STEM they are using, document what they are learning and connect those skills to a wider set of postsecondary and career possibilities.
coSTEMology is designed to bridge CTE and academic STEM through authentic beauty-industry contexts, hands-on learning, laboratory thinking, product development and entrepreneurship.
A recognized STEM strand inside cosmetology pathways.
The vision is for school systems to have a rigorous, standards-informed way to integrate applied STEM into cosmetology and beauty-industry education.
