BOOSTING ASTEAMM
Preparing Resilient Futures
ASTEAMM Academy is a groundbreaking program that offers comprehensive CHEM ASTEAMM® curricula featuring our K-12 homeschool program, extracurricular activities, and extension programs for students enrolled in vocational-technical institutions, community and junior colleges, and 4-year undergraduate programs.
In development as part of our CHEM Global Campus initiative, our program will immerse students in ASTEAMM disciplines: Agronomy, Science, Technology & Engineering, Economics, Arts & Culture, Model Policy, and Medicine.
The Academy aims to offer our CHEM ASTEAMM® K-16 ”Soil-to-Solution” Curricula to historically excluded and underrepresented communities. By doing so, we will strive to facilitate holistic and practical learning, expose students to climate-smart and intersectional career pathways, and encourage the development of a diverse professional workforce in and around existing and emerging bio-economies. Our curricula will also emphasize student leadership and problem-solving skills, enabling students to develop innovative local solutions for food, housing, and other forms of social insecurity. Our program’s goal is to cultivate the next generation of leaders in impact enterprises.
ASTEAMM Academy’s curricula will be paired with age-appropriate, hands-on activities and training at CHEM Global Campus, an international network of Innovation Hubs in various rural and urban settings. These hubs allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings – from farm to future – fostering a deeper understanding of CHEM ASTEAMM® disciplines, their interconnectedness, and the impact ASTEAMM solutions can have on their communities.
