Teaching and Learning Students and Families Experience Magic at STEAM Events

Students of 75th Street Elementary School created more than 140 interactive projects for a lawn game field day on March 15 that brought their knowledge of STEAM to life. Mazes, foosball tables, and ring tosses were a few of the imaginative games created by the future scientists and engineers and guided by one of LAEP’s Teaching and Learning STEAM coordinators.

Meanwhile, 122nd Street Elementary School hosted a Family STEAM Night on March 21 that allowed parents and families to join in on activities. The event celebrated the impact of women on STEAM.
