Does your scholar enjoy hands-on learning? Of course they do! At Indy STEAM Academy (Indy STEAM), experiential learning is exactly how we empower our scholars in grades K-7 to have fun while absorbing knowledge and boosting their confidence in our tuition-free Indianapolis charter school.

The 5 Factors of Experiential Learning (EL)

Experiential Learning (EL) means that scholars learn subjects through hands-on, real life experiences. By shifting to scholar-focused education, we increase classroom engagement, scholar motivation, teacher satisfaction, and overall school success. As a forward-thinking school devoted to developing bright STEAM futures for underrepresented scholars, including girls, we focus on these five factors for ultimate EL:

Scholars – We nurture academic and creative talents for our diverse population including underserved minority scholars and underrepresented scholars like girls.

Educators – Our highly-qualified teachers spark innovative and creative talents in the scholars and continually develop their own knowledge and professional skills.

Content – Scholars learn 90 minutes of science and engineering through hands-on lessons and solving real world problems, and experience art and music, daily.

Teaching Method – Scholars Do (hands-on learning), Reflect (question and discover more), Think (tie to personal interests), and Apply (relate to real life problems).

Learning Environment – We have plenty of room to move and explore in our spacious classes, cafeteria, gymnasium and enclosed playground. We love field trips too!

Why EL is STEAM is Crucial to Bright Futures

Utilizing the five factors mentioned above helps us have fun in school! In order to ensure that EL truly helps our scholars prepare for high-demand high-income 21st Century careers in STEAM, we believe the following:

• Meeting our scholars where they are allows us to cater to every academic journey so they will excel beyond societal beliefs.
• Indy STEAM scholars graduate better prepared for higher education and with more social, emotional, and academic confidence.
• We will end generational poverty and close achievement gaps for underserved minority and underrepresented scholars, like girls.
