S.T.E.A.M. Camp - Fun Weekly Challenges

In this ongoing STEAM camp, we will meet once a week. Your child is welcome to start at the beginning and follow along for each week, or come and go as fits your schedule! The challenges and classes do not work together with the previous one, so your child will not be confused if they jump into a class. 

S.T.E.A.M. is science, technology, engineering, art, and math. These are all such fun subjects and children can easily find themselves interested in them if they are engaged. With my weekly challenges, I work hard to plan in a way that all children, regardless of their learning style, are engaged, learning, and having fun while doing so! A supply list is provided the week before each class and the entire class will be doing the same challenge together, using the same materials, but the way it is done will be left up to the child. This is where creative thinking skills come into play. Your child will get to think, plan, and construct their own masterpiece. I am always there to help each child with ideas if they need them, and offer any guidance and advice! I too will be doing these challenges along with them.

Once we finish each challenge, we will take turns showing the class what we made. Then, if applicable, demonstrations will be done. After, we discuss what worked and what didn't. We problem solve any issues and try to come up with a fix as a class.

I enjoy teaching STEM and STEAM because it allows children to think outside the box and this is an amazing thing to watch! 

I enjoy teaching in a way that children don't even realize just how much they are learning because they are having so much fun. I love to hear laughter and talking between the students. I am not a lecture based teacher and I enjoy back and forth Q&A style conversations through each class to keep the children thinking!
