STEM plus Arts = Learning Full STEAM ahead!

Here at Story Tapestries we believe that learning = movement. The experience of learning moves students forward both personally and academically. We also know that in order for a child to successfully move full STEAM ahead in their lives, including the arts in their education is a necessity.

The arts are the glue that holds the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) of STEAM together. Our teaching artists integrate concepts across disciplines and engage both sides of the brain in the learning process; activating the minds of every type of learner, and helping students dissolve all barriers to learning. Learning through the arts means creating an experiential learning environment where children utilize all their senses to synthesize information. The push and pull of disseminating information between teacher and student can often be an interaction that is difficult to navigate.

Utilizing the arts into STEM and core curriculum empowers teachers to help students reach their full personal potential, bringing the fun back into the learning process. Thanks to your support, our thoughts and ideas are turned into actions and programs that are transforming the lives of teachers and students. Our STEAM programs allow students to build something they can be proud of while learning valuable life skills, such as teamwork, creative problem solving, and overcoming obstacles. We aim to give students a break from endless standardized tests and get them away from working in isolation by moving them into an interactive, inspiring group dynamic.

Thank you for being a part of this inspiring learning process, allowing us to keep moving forward!
