STREAM is the necessary evolution of STEM Education!
Science +Technology + Religion + Engineering + the Arts + Mathematics = STREAM
STEM Education emphasizes the progression of interdisciplinary studies in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math; STREAM EDUCATION also incorporates the creativity and expression of the Arts and our faith as integral components of a 21st century Catholic education.
- Lessons, units, and community education programs are based on the eight STREAM principles which promote a higher level of critical thinking and a deeper understanding of content materials
- STREAM activities are hands-on; projects based, include engineering design, and have relevant application in the real world
- It inspires teachers to include and develop 21st century instructional strategies at every grade level
- STREAM takes learning outside the traditional classroom experience through customized field trips and dynamic, interactive outreach programming in collaboration with our professional community partners
STREAM is not a new curriculum, but rather a framework for impactful instruction and meaningful learning.

Join all the fun of hands-on kitchen science as mini “Chopped” competitions engage students in the creative aspect of food preparation as well! Kitchen Chem. is always a hit at X-STREAM games.
Little Bits : Mix it Up!
Little Bits : Mix it Up!
Let your creative side shine as we dabble in the many methods of painting, investigate the different kinds of paint, and explore the Science involved. You will be introduced to famous artists and their type of painting, and connect the art of painting to Literature, Religion, and much, much more!
Fab Fashion
Fab Fashion
Explore design, engineering, and visual art through fashion design! Use innovative patterns, color, and the design process to solve fashion objectives in the weekly challenges. Students work individually and collaboratively to meet challenge objectives.
CSI Experience
CSI Experience
Solve mysteries using the science of forensics in this year’s Science Scrimmage. Students will observe trace evidence, investigate fingerprinting, extract DNA, create transfer patterns, and examine fiber and handwriting evidence to master problem solving like a true crime scene investigator.
