This past June, the STEAMistic team completed our first-ever initiative - STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Activity Boxes. We created 40 boxes, each containing materials to complete three STEAM activities, along with an instruction manual that also had information on careers in the fields of STEAM. This project was completed with a generous grant from #RisingYouth and TakingITGlobal. Special thanks to Amy, who inspired me to undertake this project and provided guidance and support during the planning process. Most importantly, this project would not have been possible without the hard work of the volunteers; Clara, Bea, Nathan, and Sakina – thank you all for your unwavering dedication and support!
The goal of this initiative is to ignite curiosity, encourage collaboration, and innovation and foster an interest in the fields of STEAM among young people. Oftentimes, STEAM subjects are taught in a single teaching style which may not be suitable for all learners. Thus, our project aims to provide new ways of teaching and learning STEAM subjects.
The STEAMistic team had a wonderful experience curating the activity boxes. We hope the families staying at Ronald McDonald House Charities - Edmonton house has a joyous experience completing the activities. The STEAMistic team is immensely grateful to the Ronald McDonald House - Edmonton House team for helping us bring this project to fruition.
Here’s to many more instances of giving back to the community while sharing our love for STEAM!
