RSD 13 STEAM IS HOT

Elementary

• Integrating STEAM into curriculum

○

Osmo on iPads as a fluency station in Math Workshop for: subitizing, building number sense, composing and decomposing numbers, understanding magnitude of numbers, addition and subtraction

○

“How To Program a Robot” as part of “How To” Writer’s Workshop writing unit

• 3rd year of STEAM Camps during early release and summer
• Continuation of science integration into art class
• Seesaw- using technology in content areas to create, demonstrate and reflect on learning. Allows students

to collaborate and communicate with each other

• Introductory coding and robotics in technology class
• Engineering embedded in NGSS science
• STEAM integration in library and content areas (i.e. storytelling through coding, programming a robot to

move around a city in social studies) to reinforce concepts and introduce computational thinking

• Green Screen projects in language arts and science
• Makerspace during enrichment block

Middle/High

• Introduction to design thinking in technology class and designing with sustainability in mind
• Continuation of coding and robotics in technology class
• Engineering embedded in NGSS science
• STEAM art integration
• Currently designing Innovation Lab at Memorial
• Skyping with scientists to talk with them about their work
• Hour of Code week- opportunity for students to participate in coding after school
• Currently running first Engineering course through PLTW
• Engineering embedded in NGSS science
• Currently running first year of AP Computer Science
• Continuation of Robotics & Coding and Intro to Coding classes
• Design and Build students designing and manufacturing products for our schools and the local community
• Oceanography- students are soldering circuit boards to control submersible robots that they build
• STEAM art integration- i.e. Illuminated Tunnel Books w/ Paper Circuits, exploring chemical properties of clay additives and their

impact on firing/color/texture

• CUSP Projects

○ 1 student designing, building, testing their own pair of skis ○ 1 student working on learning advanced programming ○ 1 student designed, printed and coded an autonomous underwater vehicle (UVA/submarine). He is working with a UCONN PhD student who has a contract with the navy regarding obstacle avoidance

• New High School Course proposals- Cybersecurity and Environmental Engineering

Robotics Clubs

• 1st Year of First Robotics at CRHS/3rd Year of Robotics Club at Strong

STEAM DREAMS

Elementary

• Innovation/STEAM Lab at elementary level
• Students having STEAM class in addition to Technology class. Technology class is necessary to teach the computer skills, but

giving more time to designing, engineering, programming would be a great opportunity

• Intentional integration of science/math/writing, etc.
• Robotics after school club
• STEAM after school club
• STEAM Day or STEAM Showcase

Middle School

• Makerspace time/opportunity for students
• STEAM elective opportunities for 8th grade (i.e. robotics, etc)
• Dedicated Computer Science teacher in addition to Technology and Innovation Teacher

○ Teach code.org Computer Science Discoveries as a “Pre-AP Computer Science” class

• Robust 3D Design software on computers to allow digital prototyping
• Glowforge or other laser engraver/laser cutter for additional prototyping and design build opportunities
• Integration of computer science with algebra and science classes
• STEAM Day or STEAM Showcase
• STEAM after school club

Still Dreaming….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

High School

• Innovation Lab that can be accessible by all content areas to create authentic projects
• Cybersecurity and Environmental Engineering classes for next year and continue to add to STEAM programming (i.e. biomedical

science, ect.)

• Integration of computer science with math and science classes
• More integration of STEAM into science electives, art electives, etc.
• Dual enrollment courses (i.e. computer science, etc. so that student can get college credit)
• Field trips to professional workplaces (offices, shops, design studios, manufacturers) that tie into each course
• Student laptops for design classes that could accommodate robust 3D design software
• More 21st century design tools -Cricut, GlowForge to provide tangible prototypes/end products/projects
• Update older woodshop equipment
• STEAM Day or STEAM Showcase and invite local businesses/industry to talk about jobs, how to get into careers, etc. in conjunction

with the Career Center Other

• Furniture in classrooms conducive to collaboration
• Partnerships with businesses, universities, scientists/researchers, engineers, etc. to work with our students on authentic projects
• Training regarding engaging and retaining female student interest in STEAM fields during their tenure with us and beyond
• Send STEAM staff to national conferences so they are inspired and informed about current STEAM trends and to make connections

with peers, industry, etc.

• Professional learning with someone like Angela Stockman who has written books on Turning Writers Workshop into a Makerspace
• Time for teachers to learn about our STEAM resources at the elementary level to find more ways to integrate
