Our STEAM Projects
The goal of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) is to “foster the true innovation that comes with combining the mind of a scientist or technologist with that of an artist or designer.” – Rhode Island School of Design
At CCLCS we feel that ideally a STEAM project will incorporate at least three of the disciplines, one of which must be science or technology. By connecting these areas, students become creative, inventive thinkers, who ask questions, solve problems and produce outcomes.
Students engage in STEAM projects in the classroom and may choose 8-week seminar courses in the fall, winter and spring. The list below highlights some of our projects and courses. We are continuously adding to our STEAM curriculum.
