The shift from STEM to STEAM over the past few years has begun to meet the needs of 21st century learning. STEAM provides students the opportunity to practice the standards of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math as a means to allow for exploration, creation, and development. At WPMS we offer this growing Enrichment class to all students 6th-8th grade. Our STEAM Team developed curricular standards to integrate STEAM opportunities for all WPMS students. In addition, many core teachers (Science, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts) differentiate final products with a STEAM experience, giving all students the opportunity to work with tools such as graphic design, 3D modeling, and drafting. Exposure to a STEAM curriculum allows students to explore new fields and skills that align with students' future career paths. Students who discover a passion for STEAM during their middle school years will have a variety of pathways to continue this development of potential STEAM careers in our district's high school courses.
Here are just some of the skills and projects students in our STEAM program learn and experience:
