E-STEAM is an option that provides the opportunity for students to further develop 21st Century skills, including financial capabilities, business and entrepreneurship skills, while having an impact in their community.
Students will work collaboratively and use principles of design thinking/human centered design to develop innovative solutions for the community while developing finance capabilities in their personal life and in a business/enterprise context with the potential for students to create their own startup or social entreprise. Projects align with UN Global Sustainability Goals and students will use the Future Problem Solving matrix to think big about solutions to complex real-world problems.
