ABC CREATE L.E.A.D.S. Communities + Families


Picture
Picture
ABC CREATE L.E.A.D.S. aims to surround learners of all ages (and particularly those who are historically underrepresented in STEAM) with opportunities to explore a range of STEAM-based skills. With our partners, ABC CREATE will create community-based events designed to engage families and community members along with school-aged learners in hands-on CS/STEAM/future-ready activities.
Early Childhood/Elementary CS/STEAM Family Event
Middle and High School CS/STEAM Family Event
Elementary CS/STEAM/Robotics Camp
 

Early Childhood/Elementary CS/STEAM Family Event


ABC CREATE L.E.A.D.S. will host two CS/STEAM Early Childhood/Elementary CS/STEAM events for local families and the community. Attendees will engage in a variety of activities that promote computational thinking and CS/STEAM learning. They will learn about the importance of computational thinking and why it’s important to help children develop the skills it promotes. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage in some hands-on exploration of tech tools and learn how educators are using these devices to enhance their instruction.
 

Middle and High School CS/STEAM Family Event


As learners grow, ABC CREATE L.E.A.D.S. will work with community partners to host CS/STEAM/future-ready events for families with middle and high school age children to expose parents/caregivers to CS/STEAM/future ready skills. During these events, the learners and their adults will not only have a chance to experiment with technologies, but will also be able to network with STEAM role models who can provide examples and information about the many pathways STEAM skills can open. Industry and post-secondary partners will be on hand to showcase possible next steps in education and careers that utilize CS/STEAM/future-ready skills.
 

Elementary CS/STEAM/Robotics Camp


Together with community partners, ABC CREATE L.E.A.D.S. will host two elementary CS/STEAM/Robotics camps in the New Kensington-Arnold area. Children who attend camp will engage in a variety of hands-on activities and projects that promote computational thinking and CS/STEAM learning.
