Programs for Schools
School Residencies
Our core program is a 2- to 12-session STEAM-based residency that enriches curriculum. Schools select a grade level and theme, from All Around My Community to Bridges: From Here to There (click here to see some more possibilities). Our experienced educators take it from there. In an optional end-of-residency celebration, students present their work to their families and the school community.
