Our Day

The Parable of the Stones
A man was out walking in the desert when a voice said to
him, "Pick up some pebbles and put them in your pocket,
and tomorrow you will be both happy and sad."
The man obeyed. He stooped down and picked up a handful
of pebbles and put them in his pocket. The next morning he
reached into his pocket and found diamonds, sapphires,
rubies and emeralds.
And he was both happy and sad.
Happy he had taken some - sad that he hadn't taken more.

Critical Thinking allows the
individual to manage information.
Information presented in a
multitude of forms from a variety of
media. Information that must be
filtered and analyzed, authenticated
and processed, and eventually must
be synthesized in a form that will be
useful to the individual. Information
where Questions drive the process
and Answers simply lead to more
Questions.
11

Communication provides the means by which the
individual can present information. Information
presented in a multitude of means through a variety
of media. Information and data that must be clear and
concise, effective and engaging, and eventually be
presented in a way that is meaningful to both the
individual and the audience.
12

Collaboration engages the individual in the world
they share through association. Association, that is
created to benefit an organization and as a means to
conduct business. Association that includes
partnership and teamwork, leadership and assistance,
and alliance that serves as a benefit to the whole.
13

Culture encourages the individual to appreciate
where we have come from, who we are now and how
we can move into the future. Culture associates the
individual to all that surrounds them: art, drama,
dance poetry, history, science, religion, written and
unwritten language, technology and the individual
themselves.
14

Creativity provides the avenue for expression. The
structure means nothing without
function. Therefore, the individual must be capable of
creating something with the knowledge that they
have worked so hard to obtain. It is in creating that
the individual gains purpose.
15

Connectivity places the individual in touch with
their world. In today’s existence that is increasingly
through the technology that is rapidly changing the
way they view their world. Understanding that
connections are personal no matter what the means
of contact and that humanity must remain in light of
how the technology may change for each individual.

Why Do We Need STEAM?
The Mysterious
Case of DHMO

Start Slow:
STEAM is all about integrating subjects, but
that does not mean every STEAM project is
equally science, technology, engineering, art
and math. One simple place to start: Look to
the math in art, and the art in math. Students
can create tessellations to study symmetry, use
fractions to create artwork or coordinate grids
to map a painting.
20

Look to Leonardo:
History is full of examples of scientist with
strong artistic backgrounds and vice versa. By
studying the sketches for Leonardo da Vinci’s
flying machine or John James Audubon’s
meticulous bird illustration, students are able to
see how creativity can spark scientific
accomplishment. Experts in the community,
such as architects or industrial designers will
speak about how the arts are integrated into
their careers.
20

Focus on the Process:
The engineering design process, which includes
the steps of ask, imagine, plan, create, and
improve, can be applied to any and all projects.
21

Partner with the Arts Teachers:
The art teacher, band director, dramatic
instructor, math professor, science educator,
and technology specialist all share duties in
contributing to the educational process of the
STEAM lab.
21

Think Beyond the Paintbrush:
The arts in STEAM are not just limited to
drawing and design. Students learn vocabulary
through theatrical performance. They learn
spatial relationships in dance. They learn math
through musical interaction, and each member
of the visual and performing arts spectra are
brought into STEAM projects.
22

Make it Matter:
STEAM projects are relevant to students’ lives
because students practice problem-solving
skills applicable to all areas of study. Students
can learn robotics, design their own fishing
poles, study personal genetics and ancestry, or
even take the Iron Chef style class where they
learn the science of
baking. Students take everyday objects and try
to build something that would solve a problem
in their life.
22

Make it Matter:
Students can make contraptions to help their
parents do something practical, but others may
go in a more whimsical direction, making a hot
air balloon for a pet so it can see the world. Any
project that sparks student passion will be
framed as a way to learn and practice STEAM
knowledge.
22

Embrace Failure:
In concert with Design Thinking research,
emphasize the importance of giving students
the freedom to fail along with the support to
turn those failures into new discoveries. That
same rule applies to teachers: staff members
should meet often to bounce ideas off one
another.
