STEAM Training Series

Length of Training - 6-part series 2 hours each

This cohort is a "hybrid" learning experience. By registering for this series, you are committing to attending all training sessions both in-person and virtual.

Participants are REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL TRAININGS in the series and complete two modeling sessions at their program site in addition to implementation assignments in between trainings.    

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) is everywhere. STEAM learning in OST allows youth to connect with STEAM to their everyday life. Hands-on, STEAM activities are not only fun, but will increase youth’s interest and knowledge where they can imagine themselves as scientists or professionals in a STEAM career.

In the STEAM training series, participants will learn and practice engaging activities that explore the worlds of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. This series boosts practitioners’ confidence in science knowledge, demonstrates activities that link youth development strategies and intentional STEAM learning opportunities, and guides participants in implementing STEAM in their program that is easy and effective.

Upon successful completion of this training series, follow up assignment(s), and modeling sessions the participant will earn 20 clock hours (2 CEUs) of training.
