Welcome to the eighth annual STEAM Exploration Night, STEAM the Dream!
Here in Federal Way Public Schools, we know that each scholar can achieve success, and it is our commitment to empower our students with access and choice by exposing them to the many opportunities and career paths available.
Over the years, STEM Exploration Night became a scholar and family-favorite event in our district, allowing students to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). By transitioning to STEAM this year, we acknowledge the integral role of the arts in fostering creativity, problem-solving, design-thinking, and more. The interests of FWPS scholars are wide and varied, and it is our job to expose our 23,000+ scholars to STEAM and share how all each element comes together in today’s interdisciplinary world.
Tonight’s STEAM Exploration Night will show scholars how they are artists of their own life, with the ability to create the bright future they dream of through STEAM. At this event, scholars of all ages can speak with diverse STEAM professionals from various fields, engage in grade-level appropriate activities that can spark curiosity and passion, and learn how to take advantage of the STEAM opportunities and pathways in FWPS that will lead to a fulfilling and successful future.
There is no dream too big to achieve with STEAM. I hope each of you enjoys the endless fun tonight, which can lead to everlasting memories and fuel a BRIGHT future!
