About the Project

Our project is centered on three core components: exposure, awareness, and application of science and technology skills in elementary. To accomplish these goals, a collaborative cohort of 5 elementary teachers at 4 different sites will bring science skills and awareness to students, families, and staff. In addition, the cohort will coordinate and plan classroom visitations and assemblies. Our 3 main events will be a STEAM Night, Coding Night, and a School Science Fair. The STEAM Night and Coding Night will have interactive stations run by staff, secondary students, and professionals from the science community. These events will expose participants to science skills and concepts in a fun and safe environment. They will also bring awareness to students and families about the possibilities of a science pathway in secondary. For the School Science Fair all students will be given the opportunity to participate in a self chosen activity to showcase and present. Students will choose from a host of topics within STEAM and Computer Science.
