STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. STEAM curriculum blends those subjects in order to teach “21st-century skills,” or tools students need to have if they wish to succeed in the workplace of the “future.” The idea is that in order to be prepared for jobs and compete with students from different parts of the world, students here in the US need to be able to solve problems, find and use evidence, collaborate on projects, and think critically. Skills, the thinking goes, that are taught in those subjects. STEAM Club gives students the opportunity to dive into their own interests and develop products and presentations to display what they have learned and discovered. They also have fun lessons along the way on a different area of STEAM. 

Schools can help shape a child's relationship with food—and the eating habits they'll carry for their whole lives. Our school-based program helps schools be places where kids have more opportunities to eat healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables—and teaches them to love those foods and eat them on a daily basis.
FoodCorps is dedicated to creating a best-in-class model for what healthy school food environments look like. In the process, we seek to serve as a resource to researchers across the school food field, and to inspire culture shifts and policy change.
