STEAM creative Programming and Cyber Patriot Initiative
STEAM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in five specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach
Science
STEM education integrates concepts that are usually taught as separate subjects in different classes and emphasizes the application of knowledge to real-life situations.
Technology
A lesson or unit in a STEM class is typically based around finding a solution to a real-world problem and tends to emphasize project-based learning.
Engineering
STEM lessons involve building models and simulating situations.
Arts
A variation of STEM is STEAM, which includes an ‘A’ for art and design. Artistic design is becoming an important part of STEM education since creativity is an essential part of innovation.
Math
A good STEM lesson ensures that students understand the connection to the real world.
We Develop Leaders
The initial curriculum will focus on building student foundation. Following the evaluation of the first cohort, additional curricula focusing on other topics such as cybersecurity or physical computing and product design will be considered.
