Class Content

There are many ways to combine STEM and art. However, at times it might be difficult to find activities with easy scripting since at times it can be tricky due to format. This is why CalSTEAM has been able to find activities that are engaging and fun while enforcing logical and critical thinking.

One great example is Scratch Programming. It is a block-based visual programming language that enforces many computer science principles. It is usually targeted for young kids to develop their logical thinking skills. In Creative Coding 1 and 2, kids will learn the basic process of debugging as well as trial and error, to get a more solid foundation of programming using modern languages like Python and Java. We will walk you through the steps to drawing using code as well as other Computer Science Principles you can use. If you're looking for more advanced subjects after completing Creative Coding 1 and 2, you can try High School Geometrical Shapes, Web Designing 1-3, and Introduction to Computer Science Principles (if all of those are still available).

Another example of a STEAM activity/program is Web Designing. In another one of our classes, we will teach students how to create a website using code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). This course is one of the more advanced ones that require scripting and format in order for it to run smoothly. Therefore, our Web Design package will be divided into 3 sessions for kids to join. It is recommended that kids start at Web Designing 1 instead of jumping ahead, because in Web Designing 3, we will leave half of the class time for students to complete their websites. If our Web Designing classes are in demand, we will host a Web Designing 4 class that teaches basic JavaScript.

Of course, Creative Coding 1-2 and Web Designing 1-3 aren't the only subjects there! To stay updated on ALL of our courses, click the button below and you will be directed into our Program List:

Fun fact: This website was made using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well!

Class Requirements

Our STEAM Workshop Sessions plan to be held COMPLETELY VIRTUALLY on Zoom, an easy, online video communication platform. On the platform, we ask that our participants' cameras are ON and their mics stay MUTED unless they need to speak. If the participant's camera doesn't work, please let the participant's parents email us.

If a participant misses on a class, they may contact the teacher for the material they missed.
