Full STEAM Ahead: An Evening of Innovation for AUSD Students in Grades 3-5 and Their Families

The Alhambra Unified School District hosted an exciting evening at their highlyanticipated STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Night for grades three to five. Originally scheduled for early March but delayed due to rain, the event finally took place on April 24th and provided the community with an enriching experience for students and their families.

This event sparked students’ curiosity and creativity through hands-on activities, interactive displays, and engaging presentations, while also providing an opportunity for parents to be involved in their child’s learning. Attendees enjoyed a resource fair featuring over 50 local organizations, vendors, high school clubs, and AUSD departments – each one showcasing STEAM-related opportunities and activities.

“My team was thrilled with the positive response to our STEAM Night and for the opportunity to connect our families to our school campuses,” explains Lindsey Ma, assistant superintendent of Student Support Services. “Events like these not only reinforce the importance of STEAM education, but also foster a love for learning and discovery.”

STEAM Night was more than just an event; it was a celebration of innovation, creativity, and community. It brought the community together united by a shared fascination with the wonders of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

STEAM Night was a huge success for AUSD’s Student Support Services division, who oversaw the event. There were over 50 organizations/vendors with booths and over 1,200 in attendance. Families are already asking for part two!
