STEM

to STEAM

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The STEM methodology uses hands-on, project-based learning to explore these topics, making STEM and art a perfect match.

Teaching STEM topics through arts integration turns STEM into STEAM: STEM + Art!

Committed to
Project-Based Learning

Arts Impact has developed a niche using the arts to teach STEM concepts in schools in Greater Cleveland. We know artists are seekers, risk takers, question askers and problem solvers. We want students to embrace these qualities and find them in their own lives, especially as they explore project-based learning in today’s classrooms.

Unique Hands-on Learning

Students working with Arts Impact artist-educators experience hands-on learning. We connect art to circuits. We connect students to building and experimenting. We connect teachers, principals and parents to new, relevant paths for student engagement.

Hear from Our Partners

Here’s what teachers have to say:

”The students benefited from these projects because they were given a chance to dig deeper into who they are. They were also able to express themselves and share things with their classmates that they may not have if they weren’t exposed to this program.

- middle school teacher (SEL)

”I really enjoy the creativity and positive energy. The project hit upon our standards and the students love the hands-on process.

-5th grade teacher (STEAM)

”The students really connected with the pottery, the clay, what they were doing, and the whole system, the water cycle, they made that connection. I thought it was awesome. They grasped it. schedules to get everything done – but we did. The kids are so proud of their landforms.

-3rd grade teacher (pilot)

Why work with Arts Impact?

”I am trying to partner with Arts Impact again this year because the scholars are highly engaged when they are working with the artists and the learning is deepened by adding the art form. The scholars tend to learn more of the curriculum because they have integrated art to help them internalize the learning.
