The Problem
Building on the legacy and vision of Dr. Jane Goodall to place the power and resources for creating practical solutions to big challenges in the hands of our students, we at JHS 227 believe that by creating a “STEAM Garden” we can extend the walls of our school through trans-discipline collaboration. Our STEAM Garden will provide the opportunity for our school to collaborate together utilizing an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem solving and embrace collaboration.
