Agnes Irwin Lower School Hosts Fifth Annual STEAM Showcase
On March 1, Agnes Irwin Lower School students heard from several presenters - all current parents or family members of AIS students - who gave an inside look into their work in a STEAM field and highlighted how they start their day, what they do at work, and how they end each day. “Now in its fifth year, the STEAM Showcase shows our youngest students how adults use science, technology, engineering, art, and math in their careers and everyday lives,” said science teacher Julie Haines, who has organized the Showcase since its inception.
