Cyber Troopers-Full STEAM Ahead Grant Project
Abstract
The objectives of this grant are to facilitate STEAM Club Power Hours and integrate technology into the math and science curriculum. STEAM Club Power Hours will be held twice a month throughout the school sites. Students will engage in hands-on learning activities based on the Georgia Standards of Excellence that include science, technology, engineering, art, math, and health. Students will select from a variety of topics, including broadcasting, coding, gardening, and physical fitness. In addition to science, technology, and mathematics, the clubs will focus on the creation of art through digital media, and practice healthy exercise and nutrition habits. Students will also have the opportunity to attend STEAM camps and field trips. The grant will enhance student learning, through increased opportunities for inquiry, and positively impact the mental health of military-connected students. Military-connected students will participate in peer support groups semi-monthly. Ambassadors will be selected from each grade-level to welcome military-connected students to schools and help them acclimate to school processes and culture. Interventions, including weekly meetings with counselors will be implemented when a military-connected student experiences trauma, such as the deployment of a family member. Achievement of military-connected students on district and state assessments will increase throughout the life of the grant, as a result of the support provided to military-connected students.
