S.T.E.A.M. education is the most inclusive form of education. It's not easy, but some teachers are implementing S.T.E.A.M. in the formal classrooms, and in the informal classrooms. There are many challenges to implementing S.T.E.A.M. education, particularly in full classes of students! One of our scheduled instructors will share their projects. 2022 Schedule 10:30 and 12:45 sessions: July 16 and August 20th - Finch Robots with Paula Tsoiasue - Paula is an informal educator working in Math and Sciences. Paula instructs in classes (within and without Makersville) and mentors several students with one-on-one and small group formats.
