Wheeler STEAM Symposium

2017 STEAM Symposium
Wednesday, April 12, 2017
5:30-8:00
Wheeler Arena
The STEAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, and Math)
Symposium will take place on Wednesday, April 12, 2017, in our
Arena (entrance faces Holt Road). We invite you to come explore and see a variety
of projects presented by Wheeler students.
Vision of the STEAM Symposium:
Celebrating Student STEAM Products with the Community
Description of the STEAM Symposium:
Imagine walking into a high-energy museum, receiving a program that directs
the guest with a schedule and description of events that he/she can use to
determine which projects to explore. There will be various STEAM
projects that have met a checklist of 4 criteria assessed by their teacher
to insure that it is a high level product that displays connections between
many subjects while also demonstrating practical applications to the real
world. There will be students (9th-12th) from all types of classes displayed
in multiple ways. Some students will do projects in classrooms on a
scheduled format where guests enter certain times (ie: every 10-15 minutes)
so not to disrupt the student presentations. Other projects are displayed in
the main Arena where guests can freely stop by and see their work. The program will have the schedule and description of these displays so
guests can decide what projects they want to visit.

STEM Symposium 2014

The second annual Wheeler STEM Symposium was held on March 11, 2014.
It nearly doubled in scope and size from the inaugural symposium
held just a year earlier. There were about 30 staff members
participating from varied disciplines in math, science, engineering
and technology as one would expect. However, subject areas of
government, history, language arts, and agriculture also were
represented, as the event demonstrated the epitome of
cross-curricula collaborative project based learning. Besides the
diversity of subject content, the inclusion of elementary and middle
school students, and a MOID special education class, displayed the
diversity and collaborative efforts across age levels and abilities.
There were over 250 students that participated by displaying and
demonstrating what they had learned and researched through the
project based experience in and out of the classroom setting. Over
1000 visitors and guests experienced the synergy that radiated from
our students in the classrooms, corridors, and hallways as they
communicated to the guests about their project.
On behalf of the students and staff of Wheeler High School, East
Cobb Middle School, Sedalia Park Elementary, East Valley Elementary,
Mount Bethel Elementary, and the Center for Advanced Studies
Foundation, who sponsored this event, we thank our guests, parents,
and community members who came out to celebrate STEM with our
students.
