This event brings together students, families, educators and leaders to provide new pathways for youth to ignite, develop and pursue STEAM interests, while simultaneously elevating the STEAM literacy, awareness and nurturing potential of the community.
The focus is on the STEM richness within community. There will be several examples of non-Euro-centric origins and instantiations of STEM, according to the leaders of this event — USD faculty members Dr. Odesma Dalrymple from the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, Dr. Perla Myers from the College of Arts and Sciences and Dr. Joi Spencer from the School of Leadership and Education Sciences.
Attendance is free and open to all. Conference activities will consist of engaging and inspiring presentations from STEAM professionals and leaders, as well as interactive STEAM workshops and games hosted by students and educators.
To participate in the workshops, participants will know in advance the materials they will need — these materials can be found around the home or are easy to obtain. Workshops, workshop presenters and more information available here.
