STEAM

What is STEAM?

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math  

Using the inquiry method of learning and the Smarter Science Framework to create projects that cover specific content and competencies, while engaging students with multiple technological devices (iPads, Robotics equipment, Chromebooks, etc.). Our goal is for each class to complete two major projects this year.

As part of our STEAM program, we receive substantial support from:

  • LBPSB Educational Services, providing us with consultants to support the project, and work with our teachers
  • Pearson Educational Foundation, providing us with financial support to pursue our robotics projects
  • Charles Home and School providing us with funds to purchase technological devices

We invite you to view our projects which will be posted on Facebook as they are completed.
