STEAM Education is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. Students will create connections between literary pieces of work and hands-on projects.
STEAM exposes students to the creative process, offers meaningful connections, increases critical thinking, and offers a unique way to problem solve.
