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.
QUEST students had 10 minutes to plan as a team. Then 30 minutes to construct their paper chain using only one sheet of construction paper and twelve inches of tape. At the end of the 30 minute time limit their chain was measured. The team with the longest paper chain was declared the winner.
The Depth and Complexity Framework & tools empower students to be independent thinkers and creative problem-solvers.
