Military After School

"STEAM education is an innovative, multi-disciplinary approach to math-science education. The main idea behind STEAM--which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics--is to integrate the teaching of math, science, arts and engineering, tying them together via technology in a way that emphasizes the disciplines' interconnectedness and fosters innovative thinking."
