Middle School STEAM

The SouthTech Preparatory STEAM Program is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate subjects, STEAM integrates them into a learning program based on real-world applications. The SouthTech Preparatory program also focuses on identifying and learning about STEAM related occupations. Students will have many opportunities to try new things and create something fantastic!
