Why STEAM?
At Woodcrest School, we believe in giving our students every opportunity to learn what they’re passionate about. In our weekly STEAM classes (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), students use the Engineering Design Process to explore real-world scientific practices that are grounded in creativity. Through imagination, collaboration, and inquiry, Woodcrest students investigate the world around them while learning how to use their inherent creativity to solve problems.

What Makes a Good STEAM Project?
A good STEAM project typically demonstrates creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills while effectively integrating elements of science, technology, engineering, arts, or math. It should address a real-world problem or concept, engage the audience, and showcase the student’s passion and understanding of the subject matter. Good STEAM projects often involve hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and collaboration, resulting in a tangible outcome or solution. Students can use any medium to showcase their projects. Many students have demonstrated proficiency using video, art, animation, and experiments.
