At the STEAM Olympiad, students will work together in teams of up to 6 to compete in 15 events. The events can change from year to year, covering fields and topics including: science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. Some events entail taking a test, while others involve doing hands-on labs, or even building and bringing a device to the tournament. STEM Olympiad events promote: 21st Century skills that align with the California Math, Science and Technology standards, science and math literacy and to have fun.
Students can compete in this coding event to apply what they know and show off their creativity. Acquiring computer coding skills opens students up to diverse job markets, creates hands-on learning experiences, and enhances problem-solving skills.
The Kern County STEMposium brings students and businesses together for a STEM expo where students showcase their best STEM projects, and businesses demonstrate equipment and skills required to be successful in the workplace. This event reaches thousands students from all over the county of all ages! The event inspires students to think about local career options, and provides adults the chance to see the exciting STEM projects happening in local schools. Connections and relationships made through the STEMposium often lead to ongoing field-trip and guest speaker opportunities.
Join us every Monday at 12 PM on KGET for ‘Elaina’s Experiments,’ as Meteorologist Elaina Rusk brings in local STEM educators and enthusiasts to share ideas for experiments and demonstrations you can do at home, just using things you likely have laying around the house!
Project Full STEAM Ahead was an idea created by eight high school student leaders from around Bakersfield, who all are a part of the Ford Dream Builders Program. By providing third through sixth graders with an opportunity to learn about the careers and fields of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math), they aim to educate the younger generation of more than their common core curriculum.
Students can find future at-home step by step projects with the STEAM Builders here:
