The STEAM docent monthly program will be designed to elevate the current Art Docent program and further foster curiosity, creativity, critical-thinking among students aged 4-9 through hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences that will help bridge what they’ve learned into how it is applied in real life.

This initiative would not be possible without the generosity of parents willing to give their time to help keep wonderment alive during these very curious years. A fantastic opportunity for parents who already work within these specialized fields.

Our Mission

Do I need experience in STEAM?

Nope! All lesson plans and experiments are pre-developed…we just need you to implement them! The students will watch a video that introduces the concept, so no need to put on your scientist lab coat and channel your inner Bill Nye - unless you want to.

​

Feel free to add your own spin to it, too!

What are the roles in STEAM Docent?

• We will need one lead and 3 volunteers for each project.

• The lead will be in charge of checking inventory, coordinating with the teacher on lesson dates as well as facilitating the project to the class.

• The other volunteers will be supporting the lead and help carry out the instructions across each student.

Do I need to buy materials?

 All the materials are prepped and organized into a labeled bin. If any other supplies are needed, it will be listed in your lesson plans (i.e. glue sticks from the classroom). You will never need to bring anything from home.
