First-Ever STEAM-Maker Day
Curtis held its first-ever, all school, all day STEAM-Maker Event. Our students experienced exploration zones all over campus where they experimented with new skills and materials, and expert zones, where they demonstrated what they learned to create or do.
The STEAM-Maker event connects with the Intellectual Literacy strand of Curtis's Envision Our Future Strategic Plan and is designed to teach students how to develop their critical thinking skills in a fully integrated STEAM curriculum.
