Lilly Lab 5: STEAM Foundations & Immersion – Pilot Cohort 2026 is a dynamic, hands-on learning experience designed to introduce students and families to the innovative STEAM Water Lilly School model. This pilot serves as the first step in our larger vision — blending science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics with creativity, character development, and real-world application.
Students will explore engaging projects, family-led challenges, and collaborative learning experiences that highlight how curiosity and innovation lead to discovery.
The Water Lilly School is rooted in the belief that education should nurture both knowledge and purpose. Through the pilot program, we aim to:
· • Ignite curiosity and creativity through hands-on STEAM experiences
· • Promote family engagement as a core part of the learning process
