Innovations

Course Description:

The goal of STEAM is to foster a learning environment in which students are guided to produce original ideas, objects, and structures according to certain specifications using concepts and skills from math, science, and technology. However, although students make the math, science, and technology connections, those are still not the focus of the course. Rather, the mission of the course is to grow students' capacity for creativity, fun, and back-loaded learning in a STEAM context.
