We are thrilled to announce STEAM Week, a brand-new event for students in Grades 3-5 across our region! Teachers and hundreds of students from all corners of our regional centre are coming together to explore the wonders of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. This week promises to ignite curiosity, creativity, and a passion for learning in every participant!

What is STEAM?

STEAM is more than just a collection of subjects; it’s a movement aimed at integrating these critical areas into a cohesive learning model. By blending the analytical with the creative, STEAM encourages students to think holistically and develop problem-solving skills that prepare them for future challenges.

• Science: Exploring the natural world through exciting experiments.
• Technology: Learning how the digital world works, from coding to circuits.
• Engineering: Building, designing, and creating real-world solutions.
• Arts: Embracing creativity through design and artistic expression.
• Mathematics: Understanding patterns, probability, and logic that make the world tick.

Ready to Explore?

Throughout STEAM Week, students will dive into a range of interactive lessons and activities designed to be fun, hands-on, and thought-provoking. From building projects to art creations, coding exercises, and fascinating science experiments, there’s something for everyone! Our goal is not only to educate but also to inspire conversations that extend beyond the classroom and into your homes.

Teachers and students will have access to pre-made lessons and materials in each of the five STEAM areas, including:

• Exciting Science Experiments to get students thinking about the world around them.
• Engineering Challenges where you can build and design.
• Creative Coding and Circuit Building to bring tech concepts to life.
• Art Projects that let imaginations soar.
• Mathematics in Action, exploring concepts like probability in engaging ways.

Follow the Action!

We’ll be sharing some of the exciting moments from STEAM Week on our social media channels, including X (formerly Twitter). Be sure to follow along with the hashtag #CBVRCESteamWeek to catch highlights, pictures, and videos showcasing the amazing work of our students and teachers.
