This coming academic year, 2021-2022, Discover STEAM Inc. will be providing science curriculum and teachers for grades K-8. The K-4 students will be engaged in learning about electricity and circuits through build projects with snap circuits, conductive clay and paper circuits. Grades 5-8 will learn about the world they live in and their own bodies, through the lens of genetics and biochemistry.
In response to the pandemic, DSI rolled out our new online courses program beginning with Advanced High School Biology. Efforts are now underway to expand our online offerings and include asynchronous learning options. We see value in this resource for many underserved populations including students who are homeschooled, students on medical leave, any student with a lack of access and students needing supplemental support.

During the fall we had participants meet up at the local stream, where we collected water & sediment samples. We then walked over to The Rockville Science Center's new store front space and used microscopes from DSI's Equipment Loaner Program to exam microscopic aquatic life! Each participant had their own microscope and received instruction on how to use it and help identifying their specimens as part of the workshop. It was an exciting experience and received great reviews!
