Watch the video to the left to learn about how STEAM is implemented within a school district. It covers the program, educators, and students learning with STEAM Education.
In the River Edge School District, we have two STEAM Labs. These labs include many interactive materials, tools, and resources for teachers and students as well as space for students to collaborate and work on hands-on projects and learning.
Some tools and resources include:
- A Green Screen to record video projects and edit
- Robotics kits, such as Ozobots and Cubelets
- Snapcircuits
- Makerbot 3D Printer
- A Maker Space filled with materials for building projects
- A SMARTboard for class instruction
- iPad Cart
- Chromebook Cart
And much more!
Our staff receives training on the STEAM philosophy and how to incorporate these lessons into their instruction.
Maker projects are a great way for students to visualize and model concepts they learn.
STEAM stresses hands-on learning and problem solving.
Students learn how to to code throughout the year using Hour of Code, Tykercad, and Scratch. Coding is a fantastic way for students to develop and practice a growth mindset by applying their creativity and abstract thinking.
Engineering practices and method is included in lessons to emphasize on-going problem solving and integration of science and math concepts. In this picture, a student constructed a rollercoaster using K'nex to learn about acceleration, slope, and simple machines.
Learning about STEAM careers is extremely important to enhance student understanding and engagement. Last year, Fifth Graders met Captain Hugh Carola, an ecologist and captain with the Hackensack Riverkeeper, to learn about our local watershed and environmental issues.
