Empowering Students Through STEAM and Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning in a STEAM school leads to student success and interest in real-world applications of learning.

Charles Drew Charter School offers a comprehensive curriculum including science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

Students express their enthusiasm for various subjects such as science, technology, dance, and orchestra.

🔑 STEAM fields offer career opportunities, and project-based learning prepares students for success in these fields.

💡 Project-based learning involves collaboration, problem-solving, and creating products with lasting impacts.

🏫 Teachers collaborate to design project-based learning units that integrate multiple subjects and connect to real-world relevance.

🔎 The video discusses the importance of driving questions in project-based learning.

🏫 The example given is a project about preparing for Atlanta's changing weather.

❄️🔥 The project focuses on the role of heat in coping with extreme cold weather.

📚 STEAM education involves students designing solutions to real-world problems.

👩‍🏫 Teachers guide students, but they have a significant role in designing problem-solving products.

🔬 Students engage in mini projects to explore concepts like insulation and heat conduction.

🔥 Heat energy can be transferred in three ways: conduction, radiation, and convection.

🌞 The heat from the sun can transfer energy to the air inside a bag, causing it to rise.

🔬 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education encourages collaboration and problem-solving skills.

🔍 STEAM and project-based learning provide real solutions to everyday problems.

🗂️ Driving questions help guide the problem-solving process in project-based learning.
