Project Description: STEAM Fair for the Lawrence Community
Teaching Subject: Math
MICROGRANT PROJECT ABSTRACT
Issues Addressed: STEAM exposure and access; bringing the community in to teach students of the opportunities available.
Topic: STEAM Field Day
Rationale: The state is transitioning to graduation pathways that allow for an emphasis on employability skills and experience. While many of our students have indicated they are not interested in pursuing higher education, they must understand that there are careers accessible to them without a college degree. Without the exposure and interaction with these businesses, they will not have access to these opportunities.
