WALKSTEMThe walkSTEM initiative is an exciting series of experiences growing in a number of different sites in Dallas, from Fair Park to the Dallas Arts District, from Love Field airport to the Arboretum. The initiative is grounded in the belief that every space is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) space and every child is a STEM child. Now, Lamplighter students will have the opportunity to create their own walkSTEM experience on our campus. Students in this class will develop their unique STEM identity by observing and questioning their real- world environment and uncovering the connections between STEM and the arts, nature, design, humanities, and more! They will collaborate to develop a walkSTEM tour on the Lamplighter campus, asking and answering STEM-themed questions about objects and structures they interact with on a daily basis. Program participants will lead a live tour as a culminating event, in addition to creating a self-guided version using a multimedia approach. Parents will be invited to attend this culminating experience in December. Minimum 5 students.
