At Lilian Schick School, we offer a range of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) options that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Each option provides unique opportunities for students to dive into technology and innovation, developing valuable skills for the future. Students also have the opportunity to represent Lilian Schick at events like the STEAM Games, Science Olympics, and Skills Canada, further enriching their educational journey and igniting a lifelong passion for innovation.
STEAM
STEAM
In the STEAM option, students explore a variety of technology-driven avenues, including 3D printing, model construction using everyday materials, website design, and t-shirt creation. They will be challenged to work with others and use their knowledge of STEAM disciplines to solve problems through hands-on projects. Students can also explore their interests through self-directed projects, allowing for personal creativity and innovation.
Robotics
Command robots to complete challenges in the Robotics option! Students will have the chance to build and program various types of robots using state-of-the-art kits. Additionally, they will explore computer coding—the “brains” behind the robot. With multiple entry points, this option is suitable for both beginners and advanced robotics students, providing a hands-on introduction to coding and technology.
3D printing
In the 3D Printing option, students learn the art of sketching, planning, and using Tinkercad to design their own objects. Through the Engineering Design Process, students create or improve designs, gaining valuable skills in design, science, and research. The best part? Every student gets to print and take home their creations!
MakerSpace
MakerSpace is a creative environment where students can design, experiment, build, and invent. Here, students explore all areas of STEAM using both high-tech and low-tech options. Whether solving problems or creating new things, MakerSpace encourages students to think outside the box while learning how to use various tools and materials.
eSports and Game Design
If you love video games, this is the course for you! Students in this course will dive into the world of game design by coding their own games using platforms like Scratch. They’ll explore game fundamentals, including level design, storytelling, and user experience. Students will use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to create playable prototypes based on their own game ideas.
