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 goal is to foster an environment of innovation, through which students can develop a wide array of skills that are transferable to a variety of careers. STEAM aims to:


  • Encourage the integration of Art + Design in K-20 education (from Kindergarten through graduate school).
  • Transform research policy to place Art + Design at the center of STEM.
  • Influence employers to hire artists and designers to drive innovation


In this program, we seek to expose students to STEAM fields to further their knowledge in potential high growth career pathways that can help them reach their goals as they move forward. The program calendar is as follows:


  • November 2023: Program Initiation and Application Period
  • December 2023: Student Onboarding and Kick Off
  • January 2024: Instruction and Career Exploration
  • February 2024: Career Preparation and Assessment
  • March 2024: Project Work and Program Assessment

Questions?

Your answers are here and we are here to help!

  • I don't plan on going to college. Can I still apply?

    YES! This program is designed to help students evaluate career pathways. Some may include college direction while others may not. Either way, we will support your goals through the program.

  • What happens if I am chosen as a participant?

    First, we’ll make sure to reach out to each and every winner and showcase you in a big way. On December 9th, we will have a showcase for all students that were selected. Starting in January, you will have regular conversations with our team to help you through the program to learn about different careers and gain knowledge. After that, you will be given projects for paid internship opportunities in which you can try functions of the career before you graduate. At the end of the program, we showcase you again to the community to help you gain even more opportunities in your chosen field. We work with you the entire time and continue to support you, no matter what.

  • Will I get an internship since I applied for that as well?

    Yes, participants are prioritized as interns for the platform as well. Shortly after joining the program, you will be given projects to continue working with us to help you gain experience for your career.
