Creative Minds Summer Workshops
"STEAM" Think outside the box - Starting July 11th, 2016
STEM + Art = STEAM
STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. These are the innovators, educators, leaders, and learners of the 21st century!
Knowledge of STEM subjects isn't just essential for physicists or computer engineers. Fashion designers, zookeepers, and deep-sea divers also use it every day. The workshop will engage students in critical thinking and problem solving experiences that contribute to a child’s ability to retain content in the Standards of Learning.
Cost - $100 for 6-week session (1hr every week) - Starts July 11, 2016

4 Workshops to chose from
STEM Junior - Every Monday @ 6:00 PM starting July 11th, 2016 (Ages 5 - 7)
STEM (Science\Technology\Engineering\Math) is integrated into preschool, elementary, junior core courses and programs. Our elementary science curriculum is hands-on and inquiry-based, STEM engages students by asking them to explore answers to open-ended questions. This allows students to construct an understanding of science concepts by completing investigations and answering questions about the real world. They then use their understanding of science concepts to solve engineering design challenges.
STEM Senior - Every Wednesday @ 6:00 PM starting July 13th, 2016 (Ages 7 and up)
STEM education is not just about science, technology, engineering and math; it is about critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help our students to be successful in many fields in the future. Our curriculum will make interdisciplinary connections to language arts, social studies and the arts, giving our students a broad educational experience that will prepare them well to become global citizens.Successful, hands-on experiences exploring science and engineering can have a major influence on motivation and confidence in learning. Children who study STEM also develop a variety of skills that are essential for success: critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication, collaboration, and entrepreneurship, to name a few.
STEAM ART - Every Thursday @ 6:00 PM starting July 14th, 2016 (All Ages)
- Arts education is a key to Creativity and spurs Innovation
Art education teaches the flexible thinking and risk taking that are needed in today’s complex and dynamic world. STEAM education promises to increase student engagement and unlock creative thinking and innovation. Integrating Art + Design into STEM education promotes critical thinking, a key 21st century skill.
