STEAM Design

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) Design is a way to teach how all things relate to each other, in school and in life. Using the design process, students will follow a series of steps to come up with a solution to a problem. Incorporated in this process are creativity and innovation.

Students in 5th and 6th grade will be given the opportunity to make and create in the Innovation Hub and the Makerspace. The Innovation Hub is a learning space designed to promote collaboration, communication, problem solving and creativity. The Maker Space allows students to create, make, test, and improve upon their designs.

STEAM Design for 5th grade will closely follow the curriculum of the core subjects with Makerspace safety and appropriate tool procedures being learned and followed. STEAM Design for 6th grade will also correlate to the core subject curriculums with additional tools being used and machinery to complete the end products. Computer Technology in both 5th and 6th grades will also be incorporated to enhance the students completed projects. This will be in the form of graphic design using CorelDraw software.
