STEAM Program

STEAM learning is an integrated approach to learning. It includes but is not limited to the subject areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, The Arts and Mathematics. Subject integrations are made to allow for meaningful, engaging and real world learning experiences. STEAM projects start with a key question or idea. Students solve the ‘problem’ based around the Design Thinking Process..

1. Ask: Define the problem.
2. Imagine: What can you do?
3. Plan: Think, Draw, Discuss
4. Create: Construct a model/solution
5. Improve: How could it be better?

Our STEAM projects allow for students to develop 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaborative group work and effective communication to name a few. Empowering students with 21st century skills allows them to thrive in a world where change is constant and learning never stops.
