STEAM is a program that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and creative technological Arts in an interdisciplinary and applied approach.
An exciting mix of creativity (art and design) and science (technology, engineering and math), it helps students develop innovative solutions to real-life problems. It also fuels their creativity by teaching them to tap into their knowledge of technology and the principles of mathematics and science.
With its focus on project-based learning, STEAM prepares students for a wide variety of CEGEP programs in Arts, Design and Technology. Options such as Animation and Sound Engineering, Architectural and Graphic Design, and Coding and Robotics allow STEAM students to enter a host of careers such as, graphic designers, analysts, fashion designers, software and video game developers.

Students will be introduced to open-source software, developing an understanding of coding. They will apply this understanding using robotics and other technologies.
In this course, students learn to apply key design concepts using the digital arts. To this end, they will use Adobe software such as Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign.
