The STEAM Team at Waubesa incorporates three state-of-the-art learning environments designed to empower self-directed learners with the tools, resources and freedom necessary to foster the development of their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Students work on a series of rigorous hands-on engagements. They will be required to read and research a variety of instructional materials in order to accomplish their learning objectives. Each student is responsible for keeping a record of what they are learning, what they accomplish, the challenges they encounter, and how they solve them. Students will quickly learn how to use a variety of tools to aid them in demonstrating and documenting their learning experiences.
- Fab Lab - in this flexible STEAM learning environment, students have access to desktop computers, iPads and other tools for creativity, collaboration and reflection
- STEAM Lab - this STEAM space allows students hands-on opportunities for problem solving, innovating and synthesizing information through tinkering with materials, expanding their knowledge of the world around them
- InfoZone - this STEAM space is both physical and virtual; students develop critical thinking skills as they read, research and respond to information, making connections and communicating with their world-wide 21st century community
