Each year we evolve the STEAM Expo to reflect the current state of STEAM Learning at ASA. This year we expanding beyond online submissions to displays of student projects in the Art Show as well as an evening of engineering activities in the Gym. Here's the schedule of events:
Art Show Opening Ceremony: 7 - 9 PM, Wed May 25th @ ASA Gym
Engineering Activities: 7 - 9 PM, Thurs May 26th @ ASA Gym
LatinThinks Conference Showcase: 7 - 9 PM Fri May 27th @ Online
Our theme this year is Apocalyptic Innovation. Many of us are familiar with the quote "Necessity is the mother of all invention." What we might not be familiar with is that many of our children and students feel anxiety and apprehension about the state of the world we are giving to them. Rising sea levels, burning forests, and increasing microplastics in animals are just a few of the signs of a deteriorating climate. Under the pressure of various approaching disasters, we need to radically innovate the way we live to avoid leaving the world a far worse place than we found it.
Occurring alongside the STEAM Expo and Art Shows is the LatinThinks Design Conference. This is a collaborative event with five other embassy-supported international schools in the Latin American Region. This is the second time that ASA has hosted this design conference and you might remember the first time when it was branded as RoboHack.
The goal of the LatinThinks Design Conference is to empower international students across Latin America to design innovative solutions to 21st-century challenges. Students connect with mentors, create using design tech tools, collaborate with peers, and communicate ideas for official recognition. Keep checking the official conference website (http://latinthinks.asa.edu.py) for official information regarding the Friday Conference Showcase.
