Stem and Steam Learning programs take a holistic approach to teaching and learning, incorporating an intentional relationship between lesson goals, standards, tests, lesson design, implementation, assessments, and assessments of quality. STEM/ STEAM learning focuses on problem-solving using hands-on activities, creative design, and relevant math, science, or technology material.
Students work with other students in a classroom setting. The students work as a group and interact with one another and with the teacher. The goal is to foster positive relationships among students, develop problem-solving skills through problem-solving activities, and encourage educational and behavioral growth.
The curriculum includes subjects such as science and mathematics and cultural and social awareness of learning. The curriculum covers a broad range of topics in each subject area, including history, geography, music, art, sports, health, computers, technology, and math. The program’s curriculum uses hands-on activities and other non-traditional learning methods such as musical theater, computer games, and social studies programs.
