Full STEAM Ahead
STEAM classes focus on sparking imagination and creativity through hands-on experiments where art collides with science, technology, engineering and mathematics. All Full STEAM classes have at least one independent activity and one group activity, inviting children to use observational learning, hone their creative problem-solving skills and learn to work as a team. They investigate chemical reactions, make slime that changes color, design and build gadgets and use those to create artistic masterpieces.
