STREAM Program

MMR Innovation Lab: Critical Minds, Compassionate Hearts, Creative Solutions

Design, Engineering, and Inquiry

The core mission of our new STREAM (Science, Tech, Religion, Engineering, Art, Math) Program's, “Innovation Lab,” is to help the students in PreK-8 connect what they learn in school to the future that they can create using design, engineering, and inquiry. The program, based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, encourages students to create engineering solutions to global challenges while focusing on empathy, engagement, and empowerment. The program provides students with the skills needed to tackle a larger issue, break it down into smaller, manageable steps, and to work creatively and collaboratively.

Students work on one of the Sustainable Development Goals throughout the entire year, and at the end of the year, they will showcase their solutions at our school-wide Innovation event.
