i-STEAM Experience 2014
In the Summer of 2014, through a unique combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) curricula, over 120 students in Greenville, SC were able to learn IT fundamentals, life skills, and the history and sounds of the Motown Era during the first ever i-STEAM Experience.
After 8 weeks where students engaged in classes covering game design, animation, and musical production principles, and participated in Finance, Health and Communication Seminars with local professionals, the summer camp concluded with the ‘Motown Sound’ Theater Performance and a Student Final Project Showcase which united generations of students, parents, and grandparents in a community-wide event.
Thank you to all of our partners and supporters for their roles in helping to make this summer a success!
