Workshops in the Community
We have three new workshops for the 2012-13 academic year. They are
Screen to STEAM (2 hrs)
Stage to STEAM (2 hrs)
Story to STEAM (2 hrs)
For those unfamiliar with the STEAM acronym, it is science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. This year we’ll be helping educators explore how screens, stages and stories can support STEAM related learning.
