STEAM Education Parent Resources

The goal of FIRST, and Metal and Soul, is to promote STEAM education and subsequently encourage students to pursue STEAM Careers. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. In this section, parents and students will find links to hands on activities to help promote STEAM Learning. By making these resources readily available, we hope that we can encourage more people, and in turn parents and their children, to explore together the excitement of STEAM and the opportunities it offers for their future.
