STEAM at Grace Place

At Grace Place, we believe that STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) education is essential in preparing students for the future. Our commitment to hands-on, engaging learning experiences ensures that students of all ages have the opportunity to explore scientific concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and ignite their curiosity. Through interactive experiments, collaborative projects, and mentorship from local experts, we make STEAM both accessible and exciting.

One recent example of our STEAM-focused approach was an experiment led by the Science National Honor Society students from Barron Collier High School, where our elementary students created their own lava lamps using water, food coloring, oil, and Alka-Seltzer tablets. While they watched colorful bubbles rise and fall, they were also learning about density, chemical reactions, and the interaction of different substances. Experiences like these help turn abstract scientific principles into real-world applications, reinforcing that learning is not just about memorization but about discovery and exploration.

Beyond individual experiments, Grace Place offers a variety of STEAM activities and curriculum-based learning opportunities that expose students to engineering challenges, coding exercises, robotics, and environmental science. Our goal is to cultivate a love of learning that encourages students to ask questions, think critically, and develop the confidence to explore STEAM-related careers. Partnerships with local schools, professionals, and volunteers allow us to enhance our programs and provide mentorship opportunities that inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
