STEAM-Based Jewelry & Industrial Arts Program
Connecting Creativity with Career Readiness
Our curriculum bridges the gap between art, science, and industry—preparing students for the future through engaging hands-on experiences rooted in industrial design, jewelry-making, and cultural storytelling.
Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM), we foster critical thinking, refine motor skills, nurture development, and career exploration. Each project is aligned with California Common Core, Visual Arts, Next Generation Science, and Mathematics Standards.
​
This project is a pathway to making industrial art utilizing learned fabrication processes and materials.
