STEAM Academy is designed to create well-rounded problem-solvers who look at the world around them and ask questions like “how?” and “why?”. It’s an interdisciplinary approach that weaves together the science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills learned in the classroom and connects them to things kids see every day.
