Rock the STEAM Team Our Vision
We envision a world where EVERY person has access to STEM learning.

We envision a world where EVERY person has access to STEM learning by advancing existing education to inspire people to seek STEAM careers through free K-12 equity-based, adaptable courses and workforce development at our community Makerspace and Tech Hub We aim to ensure that STEM is accessible, engaging, and meaningful for all students through community-driven initiatives and the implementation

and application of an equity framework to our educational resources, community Tech Hub, Makerspace, and professional development programs while creating a center that fosters belonging, promotes inclusive teaching, identifies barriers in our existing educational system that have prevented the full participation of certain groups, and provides adaptable solutions to meet individual learning needs. Our Mission
The Rock the STEAM Team is on a mission to make STEAM learning accessible and inclusive for ALL people in rural Dane County and to engage local economically disadvantaged and distressed communities by contributing to, remaking, and advancing existing education and professional development systems to inspire individuals to seek science, technology, engineering, art and math careers through free K-12 equity-based, adaptable educational programming and adult technology and workforce development workshops at our local community Makerspace and Tech Hub. Our Impact
Our targeted communities in rural Dane County include the Cities of Stoughton and Edgerton; the towns of Albion, Bristol, Burke, Christiana, Cottage Grove, Dunkirk, Dunn, Oregon, Pleasant Springs, and Rutland; the Villages of Belleville, Brooklyn, Cambridge, DeForest, McFarland, Oregon, Windsor, and Rockdale, and Utica; and all surrounding unincorporated Dane County. Our Focus
Underrepresented people have unique perspectives and lived experiences to bring to the table, so our goal is to foster a safe environment in our Makerspace and Tech Hub where they are comfortable and free to develop their talents. We strive to recognize this uniqueness and diversity and seek to address existing gaps in educational systems that do not serve the individual or community in the long run. Inclusivity considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age, and other forms of human difference. We seek to foster innovation and encourage a shift from existing perspectives to one that explores human differences from a point of curiosity to create innovative, adaptable STEM programming that allows for personalization that results in integrated systems that work better for everyone.

Do you know the difference between the 3?👇

1️⃣ Accommodations are changes made in teaching or testing procedures in order to provide the student with access to information and to create an equal opportunity to demonstrate knowledge or skills. This change does not change the skill being taught, the level of performance, or skill mastery.

2️⃣ A modification is a change in what the student is expected to learn and / or demonstrate. The course content is modified, but the curriculum remains the same.

3️⃣ Adaptations are the process by which a resource, lesson, activity, material, or environment is changed or altered to fit a student's needs.
