In our students’ near future, the abilities to think, imagine, create, reason, invent, and problem solve will be the most valuable commodities a job hunter can possess!

This session will highlight several fantastic STEAM sessions we have conducted with our students, as well as introduce you to many sites you can visit (and bookmark) to explore STEAM/STEM/Genius sessions with your students.
