The Power of STEAM
The goal of this program is to provide students with opportunities to enhance their skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making and leadership. This aligns well with Eagleview's Arts program and Air Academy's STEAM program.
WRE believes that STEAM is key for the future of our students to enhance their knowledge in STEAM subjects while inspiring and empowering them to pursue STEAM careers. WRE’s STEAM lab would not replace any of our current programs such as International Baccalaureate (IB), but only further strengthen those programs. This will serve as an exploratory during school hours as well as an after-school enrichment opportunity.
Goals

More About STEAM
STEAM programs require expensive equipment and a robust curriculum that schools cannot afford with dwindling district funding.
