About the Program
This 8 week program, offered both in the Fall and Spring, focuses on STEAM learning for elementary and middle school students.
Our Living STEAM Academy introduces students across Fayette County to a variety of art and science curriculum. Each year students learn about new ideas through the themes reflected at our in house Discovery Room.
In the past they have explored the Living Connections theme which utilized gadgets and gizmos to help children learn about severe weather, animal habitats, energy, biodiversity, and humans' environmental impact on Earth. In our Project: THINK theme, students were introduced to the six major lobes of the brain, their functions, and how we use them in our everyday lives.
This school year, students will explore the world of science within recycling and composting, the ecosystem surrounding them and how these two interact, and different types of pollutants that plague our planet from plastics and other natural and man-made materials.
