Virtual STREAM Activities

STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math.

The following STREAM projects were created by MiraCosta College and Cal State San Marcos students from various disciplines, MiraCosta faculty, local community partners, and other MiraCosta departments. These groups created videos, voiceover presentations, and/or infographics to present their STREAM activity. Each project focuses on one or more STREAM themes, and is targeted towards a particular grade level.


We encourage Pre-K through 8th grade students and their loved ones to visit each subpage containing STREAM projects. Although students had a particular grade level in mind while creating their STREAM project, activities may be enjoyed by various student grade levels. The STREAM activities are family friendly, and can be enjoyed by high school students also.


Below is an example of a STREAM project created by MiraCosta College student, Makhi Williams-Kent. As you will see, each STREAM project includes:

  • Project title

  • Target audience

  • Student Name, Course, and Professor

  • Description of what the audience will learn
