Full STEAM ahead! We锟絩e starting off Summer Camp at The 91亚色School with a roster full of fun and educational activities focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. STEAM learning promotes problem-solving, creative and analytical thinking as children explore, play, and try new things. Summer provides a perfect opportunity to hone in on these skills with activities that highlight different aspects of STEAM that promote learning while having fun. This week, our campers were engineers, artists, and even mad scientists! Students put on their STEAM caps to think like a scientist at The 91亚色School of 91亚色for a special visit with Mr. Vince and Miss Andrea. Students learned about different subjects such as elasticity, chemical reactions, and even learned how to make their own slime!
Mr. Vince, who is a middle school STEAM teacher commented on the importance of STEAM in early childhood education, "Practicing STEAM allows for hands-on learning and exploring of different topics. Even at a young age, these children are learning to be inquisitive which is such an important trait to have as they grow and learn." [caption id="attachment_7512" align="aligncenter" width="191"]
