The vision of the Tillamook County STEAM Partnership is to provide Tillamook County students, from pre-k to community college, equal access to high-quality programs in the field and classrooms that promote real-world problem solving. STEAM education is multidimensional, encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
Exploring the unique and varied ecosystems of Tillamook County, discovering the special adaptations that help animals survive, building a working robot, learning the history of rockets then launching one – Tillamook County STEAM Partnership offers programs that help students make connections to the world around them through hands-on experiences. Each field trip or in-class program has been developed to meet Next Generation Science Standards and incorporate crosscutting concepts. Most include a science or engineering investigation. Activities are led by staff, volunteer STEAM Coaches, and high school students from the Natural Resources Programs.
If you would like to attend a volunteer STEAM Coach Training and be prepped to assist with field trips and other STEAM activities, please fill out this interest form and we will notify you of the next training and get you set up to make a priceless impact on the lives of students in Tillamook County!
