Course Description

Credit Validation for CA STEAM Symposium Participants Only 

The 2024 CA STEAM Symposium provides access to two full days of banner keynotes which will challenge and inspire, peer-lead breakout sessions with actionable ideas to bring back to classrooms, a hands-on, interactive Makerspace, and opportunities to find out about the newest tools and resources in our Exhibit Hall. Rarely do we teach just one portion of the STEAM acronym. Connecting to the real-world requires cross-content work with the goal of helping students feel safe, known, supported, and fully engaged in learning. This event provides the opportunity to learn how to readily integrate STEAM practices into your learning environment, along with strategies and resources to address students’ and educators’ social & emotional well-being to support academic progress.
