I must say that fabulous efforts were put in by the STEAM department. Lots of wonderful ideas were put into place and it really got us all to think about something different. |

The STEAM Gaming Cafe was well organized giving students a great opportunity to explore different areas of STEAM. The voting system was a great way to determine a winner because there isn’t a biased decision. It was really impressive to see different classes come up with different ideas. |
