What is STEAM Education?

STEAM Stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.  While these are subjects that are often taught in a traditional setting, the focus of STEAM education is to integrate these subjects in the same way they interact in careers and everyday experiences.  This video from STEAM Education gives an overview of the aspects of STEAM education and a peek into student experiences.

In addition to integrating content, STEAM education at Sullivan seeks to help students build the skills and experiences that they need to engage in learning, their communities, and careers.

• Project-Based Learning

All of this is a lot to deliver, and project-based learning is the model that is supporting Sullivan STEAM Magnet in making all of these components a reality.  Learn about the difference between a school project and project-based learning in this video from Edutopia.
