Innovation and STEAM
Can you imagine a space where kids are coding as young as four years old? A place where they take an ordinary picture they’ve drawn and use technology to make their picture come alive and talk? A space where they have to work as an engineering team to design a new invention? A place where students are taking their 2-D drawings and making them come to life through a 3-D model? You don’t have to imagine any of it as this type of space is a reality for all Aspen Academy students from Pre-K through 8th grade.

For the past few weeks, Olympians from around the world have been showcasing their talent, courage, and grit at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. They’ve captured the attention of so many and given us some wintertime entertainment. At Aspen Academy, the entertainment has turned into a learning opportunity for our STEAM Classes led by our new instructor, Mrs.Thatcher.
