McLeod STEAM Studio
Committee/Council Description:
The McLeod STEAM Studio will provide new spaces for students at McLeod Elementary School to engage in STEAM activities. The resources provided by JLJ will be organized into dedicated, flexible-use STEAM centers that teachers can integrate into daily instruction. These resources will allow students to design bridges, code simple programs, explore sound through art, experiment with chemical reactions, and much more. To increase family involvement, JLJ will host monthly STEAM Studio open houses in these redesigned spaces.
