The Tacoma STEAM Learning Network is dedicated to expanding equitable access, interest, experience, and success in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) for all Tacoma students, particularly girls, students of color, and those impacted by poverty.
STEAM Family Nights reached over 300 students and parents across the district. In 2019, the Network hosted the first Mini Maker Faire in the South Puget Sound, reaching over 1,000 students and families.
The Network channels funding support from the Career Connect WA Grant to Summer Jobs 253 and Next Move. Both programs provide TPS students with resume building, job training, and exposure to the local workforce.
The Network provides training to counselors, educators, and service providers to support students applying for the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship. Tacoma students were awarded $2.4 million in 2019.
A shared community goal of changing the culture of mathematics in Tacoma. Explore, discover, enjoy, and celebrate the connections between math and the community around us.
