The STEAM program at Abrams incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. Students use the Engineering Design process steps to Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve a problem or task. Students also learn to collaborate, compromise and problem-solve with their peers. Every student in the school now has access to a STEAM curriculum during the Related Arts rotation. The fourth and fifth-grade students at Abrams have an opportunity to participate in the school STEAM club which competes at a district-level competition in the spring.
