About the STEAM TAC About your classroom immersion

FULL STEAM AHEAD

We want to help West Virginia students in grades 6-8* discover how to solve real-world challenges and everyday problems by integrating science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics. 

Our STEAM immersions make the learning experience fun and accessible.

*The STEAM TAC will support educators and students in grades 6-8 throughout the 2022-2023 academic year but aims to expand the program to all middle and high school students in grades 6-12.
