STEAM Classes

The YMCA of Frederick County is pleased to offer STEAM Classes.

STEAM classes are educational programs that integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into hands-on, project-based learning. Instead of teaching these subjects separately, STEAM lessons combine them to help students see how they connect in real life.

In a STEAM class, students might design and build models, create digital art, code simple programs, or experiment with engineering and scientific principles—all while using creativity and critical thinking. The goal is to spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and develop skills like collaboration, innovation, and communication that are valuable in school, future careers, and everyday life.

By blending technical subjects with the arts, STEAM classes nurture both analytical and creative thinking, showing students how science and creativity work together to shape the world around us.
