STEAM 概览

我们的STEAM框架

STEAM 是科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学的缩写。学前班至 12 年级的学生都参与 STEAM 活动。

我们相信 STEAM(科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学)和设计思维非常重要,这就是为什么我们将其作为我们所有 PreK-12 年级方法的一部分。我们学校将实践学习融入我们的课程中,例如:机器人技术、编码、创客空间、花园等等!

LG创客空间STEAM 代表着教育向科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学的综合教学和应用转变。Lancaster Mennonite 并非将这些作为孤立的学科领域进行教学,而是有意识地为所有年级创造适合不同年龄的 STEAM 机会。我们相信 STEAM 和设计思维极其重要,这也是 LM 的每个学生都参与 STEAM 教育的原因。

每个年级都一样的是

  • 设计过程- 学生可以通过头脑风暴、原型设计、测试和重新设计等步骤,创建旨在解决实际问题的项目。
  • 强化 21 世纪技能- LM 的 STEAM 课程强调沟通、协作、创造力和批判性思维,使学生为在未来的工作场所取得成功做好准备。
  • 多学科教学法- 虽然数学课或科学课有指定的时间,但我们的教师会将各学科之间的主题整合起来,采用跨学科的应用方法。
  • 信仰融合--与所有课程一样,我们的教师将信仰融入学科核心,鼓励学生利用上帝赐予的创造力和解决问题的天赋,找到创造更美好世界的方法。

初级

In addition to their courses in science, math, and music, elementary students also participate in Art & Design class in the Makerspace. LM’s Makerspace is a place where students can gather to share ideas and knowledge with one another as they work on projects related to fine art and design.

Art & Design Content:

Fine Art: Students use a variety of media and processes to explore essential questions.

Engineering Challenges: Students explore concepts in science and math by working collaboratively to build, test, and redesign various projects.

Project-Based Learning (PBL): Students learn by addressing an authentic, open-ended question tied to classroom curriculum.

High Tech Experiences: Students experiment with coding, robotics, and electronics.

中学

Our Middle School teachers integrate STEAM into all classes, and teach students how to use design thinking to solve complex problems in a collaborative way.  A quick walk down the hall and through classrooms displays our commitment to integrating STEAM into all areas.  From student-designed comic strips that show understanding in social studies to using 3D printers in Bible class to create scale models of the biblical tabernacle, teachers find ways to challenge students to display their understanding in creative ways.  In addition to their courses in science, art, math, and music, middle school students also participate in engineering design classes that teach students design-thinking and authentic problem solving.  

Sample Engineering Design Projects

  • Design and create an app
  • Design a solution for a broken fish tank
  • 编写个人网站代码
  • Design a solution for water flow problems in our school’s pond
  • Balsa bridge competition
  • Develop an interactive website
  • 四面体风筝比赛
  • 轻木飞机比赛

高中

LM has a variety of STEAM classes for high school students looking to gain content knowledge, strengthen 21st century skills, and attain the tools needed to succeed in the workplace of the future. LM offers design-thinking framework in the curriculum and necessary skills to prepare students to problem-solve, collaborate, and think critically as they prepare for success in their careers.In addition LM provides extracurricular clubs, sports and competitions to participate in.
