The Islip School District implemented dedicated weekly STEAM classes in its elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. In a recent lesson at Commack Road Elementary School, led by teacher Beth Fazio, students were broken up into pairs and challenged to build different types of cup towers. One challenge included not using their hands.

“This week my third graders had their first-ever STEAM class,” Commack Road teacher Shannon Dignam said. “They loved it and can’t wait to go back.”

Students at both Commack Road and Sherwood Elementary Schools will engage in many more exciting STEAM projects throughout the year.
