More inclusive and equitable participation across all school sites and all demographics.
Engaging our families, teachers and community members in STEAM activities

Additional information about the districtwide STEAM Showcase:
HYBRID format: Virtual Gallery (website), and an in-person Showcase event with projects presented live.
ALL projects are required to include digital presentation materials (Google slide presentation and project video) that will be submitted after the project is done.
Virtual Gallery- All projects that receive an initial approval to begin, and then are completed, will have their slide presentations and videos posted in the online STEAM Virtual Gallery.
In-person STEAM Showcase event - The number of projects that can be displayed at the in person event is limited. Therefore, out of all of the projects, only some will be selected to be presented at the in-person STEAM Showcase event on April 5th, 2025. All others will be invited to attend as guests to view and experience all of the projects.
Selection is a multi-level process between the STEAM Committee and school sites. The distribution of project spots will be more balanced across schools, grades, and demographics.
There will be projects that are approved for the Virtual Gallery, but are not selected for the in-person event. Many of these are very good projects; we just can't accommodate all of them. Participants not selected for in-person will still have their projects in the Virtual Gallery and will receive medallions and certificates.
The STEAM Family Playground and Challenges - Will be back again this year! Theme for 2025 - TBD
Work with family and friends on hands-on activities and mini-challenges. Can you and your team meet the challenge and reach the targets?
ALL students, parents, & community members are invited to view projects at the in-person STEAM Showcase on Saturday, April 5th, 2025.
Project Proposal Application Has Closed
Project Proposal Application Now Open: https://bit.ly/STEAM2025-form
Deadline to Submit Proposal: Monday, January 27th, 2025 at 9:00PM
Project Requirements and Stages in the Process:
Select a topic, concept, or problem to investigate. The project must highlight one or more STEAM areas: Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math. *Projects highlighting the Arts MUST also integrate at least one additional STEAM area.
Good projects involve deeper learning, model accurate concepts, and are more than a quick demo activity. Content should be age/grade appropriate and should reflect students' work and learning.
Submit project proposal by the Deadline - January 27, 2025 at 9:00PM.
Proposals must include a clear description and details of what the project is about. * NOTE- Ask a teacher, parent, or other adult to review your proposal before you submit.
Proposals will be reviewed and participants will receive a response: a "Level 1 Approval" and okay to begin project, a "Not Approved," or a "Needs __________" with recommendations for changes.
If your proposal is approved (Level 1 Approval), you can begin to conduct the project steps and record results. Note- This approval does not mean the project has been selected for the in-person event.
Compile your results and create the following digital presentation materials:
Create a Google Slide presentation that summarizes the project. (templates will be provided)
Create a 1-3 minute video, explaining your project, your results, and what you learned.
Video should be trimmed & have some editing to showcase your best work. Additional information for creating and submitting the video and slide presentation will be sent out later.
Selection of projects for the in-person event will be made and participants will be notified.
Project planning templates in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese can be found here: 2025 Application Templates.
