STEAM After School

Let off STEAM after school every other Friday at 4 PM! Lots of fun activities and learning opportunities for school age kids!

STEAM is an educational discipline that aims to spark an interest and lifelong love of the arts and sciences in children from an early age. Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math are similar fields of study in that they all involve creative processes, and none uses just one method for inquiry and investigation. Teaching relevant, in-demand skills that will prepare students to become innovators in an ever-evolving world is paramount, not only for the future of the students themselves but for the future of the country. Benefits of STEAM

  1. STEAM Promotes Creativity
  2. STEAM Promotes Collaboration and Respect
  3. STEAM Facilitates Critical Thinking
  4. STEAM Projects Require Students to Solve Problems in a Hands-On Way
  5. STEAM Embraces and Celebrates Diversity
