It takes a lot to run a program like this in a public school, especially a small one like ours, but it's so important. Working in the STEAM Lab and participating in Robotics helps students explore new avenues of learning and get an idea for potential careers. It teaches teamwork, communication, creativity, and so much more than just 'how to build a robot.'
