STEAM to the Past, Design for the Future

This onsite seminar explored the interdisciplinary links between eighteenth-century history and STEAM in the daily lives of American Indians, British colonists, and free and enslaved Blacks. Participants compared the experiences of the three diverse groups of people, specifically applied to STEAM—the sciences, technology, engineering, art, and math. Participants engaged with historical interpreters, investigated applied science principles such as design and engineering, chemistry, transportation, and energy, and combined these experiences into dynamic classroom lesson ideas that incorporate primary sources, collaboration, inquiry, and problem solving.
