The Girls in STEAM is an opportunity where we engage, enrich, and empower students to see themselves as someone who could excel in STEAM education and future careers.  The first 5 weeks are slotted for S-T-E-A-M specific topics, the last 5 weeks are devoted to working on Nebraska Robotics Expo events in teams, so the final day is like a mini-Expo where these girls-only teams will be invited to participate in the Nebraska Robotics Expo. Kennedy's participation in the Nebraska Robotics Expo provides a unique opportunity for our students. 

STEAM-focused activities allow the girls opportunities to make connections between academic content areas, social skills and application opportunities. Students have the opportunity to explore: 

• Scientific principles
  • Observation
  • Structure and Function
  • Earth, Life and Physical Science 
• Technology advancements and creation
  • Green Screen
  • Drones
  • iMovie
• Engineering concepts and documentation
