Phase 2 Projects
The STEAM Lab, The Balance Room, and Teen Territory
The STEAM Lab
21st Century Learners
STEAM Education is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and mathematics to access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. It encourages our youth to take thoughtful risks, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. Community partnerships will engage professionals from STEAM careers as volunteers, modeling future opportunities for our youth.

The Balance Room
Connection, Relationships, Support
When children can understand and manage emotions, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions, they find balance. This room will be a safe space for our youth to explore their emotions, identities, and establish and maintain supportive relationships with their Friend and peers. Friends and youth will come together here to talk, problem solve, and identify positive self-management skills.
