The Clymore STEAM program incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts, and math into real-world, inquiry-based experiences! Students are becoming empathetic problem solvers who design using engineering practices, think critically, and empower each other. Second through fifth-grade students attend STEAM during their “specials rotations”, and collaboration with classroom teachers allow all learners to regularly participate in STEAM challenges. Our student engineers are given agency and choice when creating, use new technologies, take on authentic roles (game designers, music composers, earthquake engineers, and technologists), learn how STEAM practices are used in various careers by working with community members, connect content they are studying in class, and have opportunities to utilize 21st-century skills (5 Cs). Students solve meaningful problems and celebrate mistakes, learning to improve and encourage their peers to do the same! Our Cardinals are talented and curious, and we are thrilled to design and problem solve in Clymore’s STEAM program!
