S.T.E.A.M. Lab Club

S.T.E.A.M. = Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math

 

This club is an inclusive social skill–building club where creativity, collaboration, and connection come together. Using Blue Heron Collective’s STEAM Lab, participants engage in hands-on opportunities to build, create, tinker, and innovate while developing meaningful peer relationships.

Through collaborative STEAM challenges and open-ended projects, participants practice essential social skills such as active listening, reading non-verbal cues, sharing materials, negotiating ideas, and working through conflict. Problem-solving is woven throughout each session as learners navigate group decisions, troubleshoot designs, and adapt plans in real time.

All activities are grounded in authentic, real-world situations and are intentionally guided by skilled facilitators who provide modeling, and support as needed. Reflection and discussion help participants make connections between STEAM-based experiences and everyday social interactions at school, work, and in the community.
