STEAM

STEAM at Greenwood Elementary is a cross-curricular program that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics in a project-based learning environment. Students will use and build upon their skills in all of these areas as they tackle challenges throughout the year. The goals of our STEAM program include increasing the number of students who are excited about science, engineering, and mathematics and are producers of digital content, rather than just consumers of it. In addition, students will develop their growth mindset as they continually challenge themselves to use engineering setbacks as inspiration for improvement as they implement the Engineering and Design Process.
