What is STEAM?
STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The idea of emphasizing these subjects in delivering the
curriculum has been driven by the business
community, with the goal of preparing an
agile and competitive workforce. STEAM
skills are vital for success in the 21st century
and critical to our collective future.
STEAM education provides the foundation
for every child to be successful in college,
work, and life. At the STEAM Academy, our
students will be problem solvers, innovators,
inventors, and logical thinkers. In addition,
the “Critical C’s” of Collaboration, Cooperation and Communication are emphasized
through project-based learning, usually
through interdisciplinary (across subjects)
activities. Project-based learning will integrate the subject matters in an inquiry-based,
hands-on curriculum.
Arts education is a key to creativity
Creativity is an essential component of,
