Fox Chapel Area School District STEAM camp draws nearly 200 students
Fox Chapel Area School District hosted its annual STEAM Camp at Fairview Elementary School last month.
About 200 students participated in the week dedicated to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
It was open to students in first through eighth grades.
District community engagement specialist Jill Leonard said students attended one of 13 camps, which covered topics ranging from pottery to stop-motion to environmental exploration.
Camps also featured a series of interdisciplinary lessons including coding, robotics, drones, engineering design, digital fabrication, ecology, geology and nature.
Campers took part in hands-on experiments, stimulating investigations, project-based learning and thoughtful exploration facilitated by certified educators, as well as community partners from the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania.
