STEAM is a cross-curricular and cross-panel program consisting of enriched Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics education with a focus on project-based learning using a variety of computer based technologies (applications are now open nearnorthschools.ca/west-ferris/ap…)

A2: I'm biased as a computer science educator prior to admin, but I have seen for more than a decade that coding works on not only math, but literacy (commenting) and developing resiliency and instilling perseverance. Coding is a transferrable, wanted skill. Promote! #OPCchat

Very proud of the work done by these three young women! Congratulations Ella, Fionna, and Emily! #WomenInSTEAM #STEAM baytoday.ca/local-news/ste…
