Summer STEAM Program





ArtinaBoxCo.  had an excellent opportunity
to partner with OUFSD for a summer program during the month of July.
OUFSD Summer STEAM Program.


This was an summer enrichment program geared toward elementary school students, ages 5-10 years old, in the Ossining area. 
We collaborated with high school student mentors in order to engage and empower the community's student body.   
Our goals for the STEAM Program were to have Fun & Learn something new everyday with a hands-on interactive & playful approach.  We wanted to Spark an interest in any if not all of the applied theoriesBuild Confidence in each childWe aimed to make the children Ask questions, to Wonder, ask Why & How?.  Through group activity we encouraged them to Be a team player.  Above all, we wanted to Expose the children to scientific theories and application in a fun and interesting way in order to plant seeds of interest.


STEAM is an acronym for the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.
  • Science: We experiment like scientists.
  • Technology: We use specified methods to explore.
  • Engineering: We construct.
  • Art: We create.
  • Math: We use numbers & relate them to our activities
Please check back for pictures from our successful summer!
