STEAM Club | William Brooks PTA

William Brooks Elementary PTA is excited to host our lunch-time STEAM Club again this school year! STEAM stands for "Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math."

At STEAM Club meetings, Brooks 1st - 5th grade students who want to participate will work with peers to solve hands-on STEAM challenges: imagining, designing, building, testing, and improving upon their ideas, and engaging in class discussion about each step of the process.

When and Where

STEAM Club will meet on Mondays during lunch recess time. Students will go to the STEAM Lab (next to the library) either before or after they eat. Participants will be informed when it is their time to go to the lab. We may adjust the schedule mid-year if necessary.

Expectations

Brooks Bears always strive to be "respectful, responsible, and safe." The privilege of being in the STEAM Club relies upon a student's best effort to live up to our Brooks Bear motto!

Respect

We always respect each other in the STEAM Club. Some activities will require working with a group, and some will be done individually.

Responsibility

One of the hardest things to do in STEAM Club is to leave when time is up! Show that you are responsible by cleaning up your space and getting ready to go as soon as the instructor says it's time.

Safety

All students will be taught about our STEAM Lab safety procedures. We will be working with usual school supply items, such as scissors, glue and tape.

We may use special tools, such as safety cardboard cutters intended for child use, if students have demonstrated good safety skills.

Questions?

The STEAM Club is led by parent volunteer instructor Melissa Keyzer. Your child may know her from STEAM Club last year, having had her as a substitute teacher in their classroom, or from her work with the Brooks art program and other PTA activities. Feel free to reach out to Melissa at wbrookspta@gmail.com if you have any questions about the STEAM Club.
