My Students

Our school district operates sixteen elementary schools (K-5), three middle schools (6-8), three high schools (9-12), and one K-12 school in Santa Clara, California. We have a very diverse district, with Hispanics, Caucasians, and Asians having an almost equal representation. We serve over 15,500 K-12 students who are eager for 21st-century challenges and need to engage with STEAM through a variety of tools to master the skills to succeed in their future we have yet to imagine.

My Project

We will be holding a Virtual District STEAM Expo this year with a series of live, interactive, hands-on STEAM activities and experiments, to engage students in STEAM. More than 2,000 students are expected to take part. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics and is an extension of the popular STEM concept. STEAM focuses on math, science, technology and engineering, but highlights the creative process as an essential skill complementing these disciplines.

We are looking to create STEAM kits that students can do at home to get them excited about STEAM during distance learning.

Each kit will allow students to make customize real-working vehicles and a straw tower. This fun and easy hands-on STEAM projects will engage and excite students who are doing distance learning.
