Integrating STEAM Fall 2016
A E M T S
Collegiate School has always provided a strong foundation in all academic disciplines, and in recent years the School has worked strategically to expand its JK-12 integrated curriculum related to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and math).
“STEAM is about connectedness across disciplines,” said Collegiate’s Academic Dean Susan Droke. “It allows our students to become more comfortable with multiple ways of knowing and working with information.”

Whether learning how to code in technology class, how to build in engineering class, how to simulate a nomad’s journey in history class, how to virtually explore the cardiovascular system in anatomy class, how to recreate a Roman city in Latin class or how to design an aerodynamic airplane in science class, the incorporation of STEAM into various subjects helps students develop communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills in a real-world context — attributes that will be necessary for the higher education, and the career and life paths they ultimately pursue.
