Mission & Vision
Team Steam is committed to inspiring young students from all over by intertwining a variety of events and resources related to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) . We hope to empower them to seek a future in these growing fields.
​
Our vision is to build a network of students, young and old, across the country, all focused on delving into the world of STEAM through our numerous opportunities. We wish to host our own classes throughout the school year as an outlet for students' artistic, scientific, and technological minds.
Who We Are
At Team STEAM, we hope to introduce young children to subjects in the world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through engaging and enriching activities to help them realize their passions and potential. We aim to achieve this through our virtual STEAM classes, our STEAM blog, and special events such as our art gallery.
​
Each of these resources and events come together to form a cohesive organization aimed at sparking a potential passion in any area of STEAM.
