You have undoubtedly heard that STEM, which stands for an educational focus in science, tech, engineering, and math, changed to STEAM, to include the arts. Carver students gathered virtually yesterday to exhibit their STEAM creations.

The event gave our middle school students the opportunity to display their hard work and engage with judges who asked questions and were treated to the unique talents of our diverse students.

The STEAM Showcase is always a hit with students, educators, and attendees.

Special thanks to our volunteers who helped to review the student projects and provide the student scientists with meaningful and encouraging feedback. And thanks to our educators and parents who through the school year are supporting our students as they explore the world around them.

STEAM skills are in high demand among today’s workers, and one of the best ways to equip future employees with these skills is to start early. Carver STEAM programs help students with these skills. After-school is a vital part of the solution for bringing more educational opportunities to kids.
