about the program
Gathering STEAM
............................
Since 1977, Awakening Seed School has
provided a quality educational program for
children in the Phoenix area, promoting
creativity, innovation and healthy living.
Honoring the Seed’s long history of
supporting the creative arts, the Seed
Summer Art Camp offers as this year’s
theme, Gathering STEAM, a six-week
immersion into science, technology
engineering and mathematics through the
arts. Each week’s art focus will integrate
one or more of the STEM disciplines. Every
student attending the summer program will
receive a commemorative t-shirt. Our
annual mid-summer food drive for the
Tanner Chapel food pantry is our summer
community service project. The Seed
Summer Art Camp will conclude with the
25th Annual Way-Off Broadway production
by the 3rd-6th graders.

OUR INNOVATIVE WEEKLY TOPICS
S=science T=technology E=engineering Art= art Math=mathematics
WEEK 1 • June 8-12
Shapes. Colors and

Our first week sets the stage for
the rest of the summer as we delve
into an exploration of color.
Colors will morph into shapes, then
combine to make unbelievable
patterns. (S, T, A, M)
WEEK 2 • June 15-19
Potions and Mixtures
Young alchemists will mix and stir
ingredients to create concoctions
never before imagined. Using
everyday household substances, as
well as nature’s own mud, sand and
water, magical possibilities will be
on the rise. (S, T, A)
WEEK 4 • June 29-July 3
Water Ways
During this short week when we
celebrate Independence Day, topics
like erosion and aerodynamics will
come to life. Boat construction and
lots of outdoor experimentation in the
sand circle will make this an enjoyable,
stimulating week. (S, E, A) Friday.
WEEK 5 • July 6-10
Tinker Thinkers
Small hands will be busy tinkering with
small objects and big ideas this week.
Trays, boxes and containers of “stuff”
will be transformed into art objects,
both permanent and ephemeral. Start
collecting for this week of
inventiveness. (S, T, E, A)
