    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    PS 122Q The Mamie Fay School in Astoria always needs more funding to support the placement and evolution of programming and resources in these ever-changing educational areas.\n\nNow, and in the future, a fully supported STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) provides a vital holistic learning approach that combines scientific inquiry with artistic expression, promoting innovative and creative interdisciplinary skills for the future. And the earlier students are exposed to the STEAM disciplines, the better.\n\nSTEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, building on its predecessor STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). STEAM focuses on sparking imagination and creativity through the arts in ways that naturally align with STEM learning by including the arts ranging from visual arts, language arts, and physical arts to music and more.\n\nThe allotted $250,000 People’s Money Participatory Budgeting expense project budget will fund two major in-school initiatives for three years. Thus providing the groundwork and vetting for ongoing programming opportunities in the future.\n\nIntegrating and enhancing STEAM Education in the PS 122Q curriculum is one of the best ways to prepare students for the world’s increasingly fast-paced communication and jobs that do not exist today.\n_________________________________________\n\nPlease visit https://sites.google.com/view/ps-122q-steam/home to see more details about the Idea proposed.
    What is the solution to the challenge?
    Two In-School Initiatives: \n\n1. Safeguarding Arts Education \nArts education is often cut or removed from school programming. While visual arts, dance, and music are currently part of the academic curriculum, theatre arts education is in jeopardy. \n\nWe cannot limit theatre arts education opportunities to after-school or temporary residencies. The ongoing, cumulative power of creative play and storytelling is proven to have a lasting impact on overall student success and wellness. \n\nFunding consistent, high-quality theatre arts programming for all elementary and middle school students at PS 122Q will improve their learning and make them more empathetic, passionate citizens. \n\n2. Keeping STEM Education Updated\n\nScience, Technology, and Engineering Education is often underfunded, and new tools and resources are cost-prohibitive for schools to purchase, support, and update. \n\nSTEM education is more than updated computers, coding programs, and accessible technology. It’s important because it develops and nurtures:\nCritical thinking skills - encouraging students to question assumptions, analyze data, develop solutions, and foster a critical thinking mindset \nProblem-solving abilities - emphasizing the need to identify problems, design solutions, and test ideas through hands-on learning \nCreative Innovation - teaching the power of exploration and experimentation by thinking outside the box \nCollaboration and teamwork - nurturing communication and working together \n\nSTEM programming will prepare students for a future heavily reliant on advancing technology and give them the skills to analyze complex situations and explore solutions. \n\n_________________________________________\n\nMany education experts regard STEAM as an essential component of 21st-century education. According to the U.S. Department of Education, “In an ever-changing, increasingly complex world, it’s more important than ever that our nation’s youth are prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve problems, make sense of information, and know how to gather and evaluate evidence to make decisions.” \n\nStudents who learn in a well-funded, integrated STEAM framework aren’t just taught the subject matter but they are taught how to learn, how to ask questions, how to experiment, and how to create. Thank you for considering allocating The People’s Money to provide this invaluable educational programming to all students at PS 122Q.
