Weekly S.T.E.A.M Enrichment Activities
Welcome to the first weekly online resource drop for DPSCD students and families! Each week, we’ll share K-12 resources to help you source high quality enrichment activities, aligned to the sections of our suggested daily schedules, available here. This week is all about science and physical activity! These materials include STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities like computer coding or exploring distant planets, which are educational and fun. After some rich science learning, choose one of the physical movement resources to keep active.
