“Economic projections point to a need for approximately 1 million more STEM professionals than the U.S. will produce at the current rate over the next decade if the country is to retain its historical preeminence in science and technology.” -President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
Our vision is for students to learn through authentic problem-solving. Working together, they will design and build solutions to practical challenges, applying knowledge from different disciplines and potentially developing new skills such as coding or digital design.
Increase interest in STEAM-related activities.
Increase 21st century skills; including collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving
Increase student awareness of STEAM related fields and its value to society
STEAM is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students, regardless of background, feel respected, connected, and welcome. We will achieve this by actively promoting the program and removing barriers. Additionally, STEAM aims to close technical skills gaps for economically disadvantaged students, English Language Learners, and students of color so they can succeed alongside their peers.
