STEAM CURRICULUM FOR K-8 EDUCATORS
Why STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math)?
Research shows that STEAM positively impacts student achievement and teacher efficacy. STEAM takes STEM to the next level: it allows students to connect their learning in these critical areas together with arts practices, elements, design principles, and standards to provide the whole pallet of learning at their disposal. It removes limitations and replaces them with wonder, critique, inquiry, and innovation.

Hone your STEM teaching practice with professional learning
“When we began the search for STEAM partners, we were looking for multi-disciplinary, hands-on STEAM projects for our students that would provide them with 21st century learning opportunities, and bolster NGSS and CCSS standards."
