STEAM URBAN collaborates with green spaces, schools, and community organizations in Black and Brown areas to provide dynamic and healing programmatic offerings that will begin to eradicate educational disparities, connect and uplift community members and expand community resources. Working with students of all ages and seeing everyone’s humanity strengthens the community thread and creates brave, collective, and collaborative spaces.
STEAM URBAN uses an Anti-Racist, STEAM-disciplined, Healing-centered, and Culturally Responsive approach for teaching and learning to address three broad topic areas: Environmental Justice, Social Justice, & Educational Equity.
Environmental justice is at the forefront of STEAM URBAN’s educational framework because the poor and marginalized communities we serve have been unfairly exposed to great harms associated with resource extraction, hazardous waste, and other land misuses. Climate change will impact the least of us first, and these injustices must be addressed with our youth so that future generations can inherit a healthy world.
The key to combat social injustices, or the unequal distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society, lies in valuing and affirming Black and Brown students. STEAM URBAN’s social justice framework for learning is engaging, challenges students to action, and encourages the students to practice and develop their skills through choice and voice, community collaboration, and Expressive Arts.
STEAM URBAN believes that all students should have access to the same resources and opportunities in education. Using a student-centered approach, STEAM URBAN’s framework for teaching identifies and nurtures each students' unique cultural strengths to promote achievement and a sense of well-being about the student's cultural place in the world. Students are encouraged to take risks, learn by trial and error, and be unashamed of mistakes, knowing that the Radical Educator is there to guide and facilitate their learning.
