STREAM – educating students in Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math using an interdisciplinary and hands-on approach. In our STREAM Lab subjects (and students) do not work on their own; instead they are woven together in practical and seamless ways to allow the students to apply their learning and skills to real-world problems outside the classroom. That means science is not just science, math is not just math- we teach the students how the subjects interact with each other.
STREAM is not a “new” or “millennial” way of learning – it is simply a way of understanding that subjects compliment and support each other. We are blending their knowledge.
The learning is project-based and hands-on to pique student interest and help them develop skills that they will use in their everyday lives. By putting the learning at their fingertips, we are developing a sense of inquisition in the students. They are given problems and they must work together come up with a solution to that problem. Students will use and foster their innate sense of creativity and critical thinking to work collaboratively to find end results in their own way. Failure is a good word in the St. Paul’s STREAM Lab. It is an opportunity to try something new and different to make an idea come to life. And if attempt 2 doesn’t work? Move onto attempt 3.
Students feel a profound sense of accomplishment when they finish something using their own ideas. They will also build the vital skills needed for our success in today’s world…creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking!
