We demonstrated:
🔭STEAM education is powered through collaboration and teamwork
👩🚀When parents, educators, and communities align in goals - you can reach the moon (and beyond)
🚀Continuing to create hands-on opportunities and shared experiences for our kids is possible and important in a STEAM education.

We are so incredibly lucky for the donation of this custom built LEGO Sorter. Designed and built by Grandma Karen (not pictured), coordinated and dropped off by Ben V. and Jaime V.
This sorter will help organize LEGOS in the Innovation Lab so it’s easier and quicker to find particular blocks while ideating for projects. It will also serve as a Social Emotional Behavior (SEB) tool to allow kids to roll, rock and swish the sorter back and forth to calm down and reset.
Please consider supporting Karen V by visiting her etsy shop and checking out her beautiful craftsmanship!
If you would like to take on a family project for the Innovation Lab, please email ptalizgibson@gmail.com.
We are honored to announce that NASA has named Santiago STEAM Magnet Elementary an official Moon Tree Steward. The school will receive a Sequoia whose seed traveled aboard Artemis I, farther into space than any human has ever gone!
NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement and the USDA Forest Service reviewed more than 1300 applications from across the nation before selecting Santiago STEAM Magnet Elementary as recipient of this Moon Tree. The combined agencies congratulated Santiago for its Education Impact Statement and tree care plans, which distinguished the school as a first-round recipient.
The Moon Tree will provide unlimited opportunities for real-world investigation, scientific data collection, and conservation education. This unique, otherworldly tree will open up a universe of possibilities for our young students.
The moon tree ceremony was held on Monday, October 14th. Check back soon for videos and photos from the event!
Santiago STEAM Green and Santiago STEAM Magnet PTA applied for the “NASA Moon Tree” on behalf of Santiago STEAM Magnet Elementary School.
