“Not only does STEAM teach students how to think critically, problem solve and explore their creativity, it also prepares students to work in career fields expected to grow significantly,” said Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green. “Rhode Island is building the next generation of innovative thinkers and I look forward to showcasing this exceptional work.”
