Cambridge STEAM Initiative
The Cambridge STEAM Initiative is a joint venture between the City of Cambridge Department of Human Service Programs, the Cambridge Public School District, and the Cambridge Public Library. STEAM is an integrated approach to learning that uses any combination of STEAM areas of study - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math - as access points for inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. Using a racial justice lens to frame all of its efforts, the STEAM Initiative works to ensure that Cambridge residents who are most impacted by systemic inequities have access to high quality STEAM programming, resources, and skill-building opportunities.

Cambridge STEAM Initiative Vision
