This is our signature course for K-12 educators, community members, school administrators, professors or anyone who wants to bring a culture of belonging in STEAM.

The program featured interactive sessions designed to foster rigorous and culturally affirming STEAM pedagogy and curriculum in 6th- to 12th-grade classrooms. Participants engaged in social identity reflections, explored STEAM identities, and designed practical applications for liberatory pedagogy in their teaching.

This offers a method for connecting with nature through firsthand observations. Sketches are developed in a journal based on these observations. The goal is to build a stronger relationship with the environment, one that connects science with history, culture, and community.

Our nature journaling training reimagines what it means to study the environment while staying rooted in science, community and connection to place.
In a joyful and playful environment, participants learn to unlock their creative abilities through small robot cubicles, legos, movements, play, poetry and art.

Biomimicry is the practice of learning from, and then emulating nature's genius to solve human problems and create more sustainable life centric solutions.

What can we learn from nature: Biomimicry is a new way of relating, viewing and valuing nature. Biomimicry requires us to be constantly curious.

Workshops, Coaching, and Professional Development

The STEAM Learning Institute partners with schools and districts to cultivate thriving STEAM ecosystems where everyone feels they belong. We work to co-design joyful spaces and steam curriculum that are culturally relevantat, engaging, place based and joyful.

We help strengthen community and family partnerships to make STEAM learning relevant and impactful.

Fellowship

The program offers a 8-month cohort from late November to May, providing access to workshops, digital libraries, in-person gatherings and retreats, and one-on-one coaching.

Upcoming initiatives include a retreat in Pescadero or Asilomar and the creation of a supportive community focused on societal change. Each participant will have a year to create a project to imagine, test, revise, and implement, culminating in a final presentation during the ceremony.

The project can be anything from a piece of writing, poetry, a new system, a curriculum, a collage, music, a game, a play, an installation, a robot, a workshop. The possibilities are endless as we start reimagining STEAM.

"This was one of the best experiences that I have had as an educator in a long time. It was well organized, I learned a great deal, and left with enthusiasm as well as something practical that I can do with students. I am greatly looking forward to the next workshop!."
