@ Anoka High School
The Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math( STEAM) program at Anoka High School is designed for students who want to focus on technology / computer science skills while exploring the connections between the arts, sciences, engineering, and math. STEAM uses project based learning that focuses on commitment, engagement, performance, reflection and understanding in order to guide students to lead the next generation. They will experience the parallels of the artistic, scientific, and design processes and delve into 3D modeling and design, electronics, engineering, digital media, and fabrication. The classes in the STEAM program will strengthen students’ abilities to be creative and flexible problem solvers, to explore different ideas, to recognize failures as opportunities for discovery and to communicate well with others. This program will provide a unique hands-on experiences for students with a strong interest in technology, the arts, math and engineering and will integrate subjects in an inquiry-based, hands-on curriculum in a way that more closely aligns with what students will experience in college, the workforce and lifelong learning.
