Students at Citrus Springs Charter School in Santa Ana have been fully immersed in hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) projects that have “ignited their curiosity and fostered their creativity, reported Priscilla Doorbar, principal. From designing and building robots to exploring the principles of coding, she continued, “our students are actively engaging in real world problem solving and collaboration.”

Activities include discovering the diversity and function of seeds through observation followed by sorting and counting varieties of seeds. Others learned about the structures and functions of flowers and fruits, used modeling clay to study the phases of the moon, studied how solar power works, and learned about how the movement of the earth, moon, and sun affects our climate.
Priscilla continued, “We believe STEAM education is essential for preparing our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. By integrating STEAM into their learning experiences, we are equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.”
