ELMHURST, Illinois— As educators work to increase access and opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), a growing number of schools and districts are turning to TinkRworks. This fall, several public, private, and charter schools launched or renewed partnerships with TinkRworks to implement STEAM project-based learning in their classrooms.
Recent districts and schools that renewed or expanded their partnerships with TinkRworks include Killeen Independent School District in Texas, Hope Community Public Charter School – Tolson in Washington, D.C., French Xavier Warde School in chicago, Barack Obama School of Leadership and STEM in Park Forest – Chicago Heights School District 163, and St. Isaac Jogues Parish Catholic School in Hinsdale, Illinois. Additionally, new school partners include Woodlands Christian Academy in Texas.
These schools and districts join hundreds of others across the country that are implementing TinkRworks to support their academic goals while creating an equitable STEAM learning environment for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
“TinkRworks can be implemented in a variety of settings, making it an easy choice for school and district leaders,” said Dr. Chad Stevens, CEO of TinkRworks. “Our STEAM curriculum and projects come ready to teach and can be used by teachers of all experience levels, even if they have never taught STEAM subjects before. “We are excited to welcome our new partner schools and districts, and look forward to seeing how they use our hands-on curriculum to engage students in unprecedented ways.”
TinkRworks curriculum and hands-on STEAM project kits can be implemented in a wide range of classes, including STEM/STEAM, science, math, English language arts, music, art, and social studies. Each project provides 10 to 18 hours of instruction that can be customized to meet classroom needs. TinkRworks can also be used after school, at school/summer camp, and in expanded learning opportunities.
