Developing the Whole Child through STREAM

Our Grades 3-5 Programs

Our Grades 3-5 STREAM Missions program is built on elementary instructional best practices that pair core science instruction with reading, art, engineering, and math application. Delivered in a cloud-based platform with accompanying hands-on projects, STREAM Missions appeal to all types of learners as they combine structured and guided inquiry with student-centered technology and true interdisciplinary instruction.

And it doesn’t stop there. Through the Missions, students are also introduced to a variety of potential careers, helping them bridge the gap from instruction to the real world.

Elementary teachers don’t have to be experts in science or math in a Missions classroom; all support materials, content, structure, and scheduling are built right into the platform. Our talented team of former educators, now curriculum writers and professional development providers, have thought of everything needed for teacher and student success. Plus, the program is flexible and enables us to customize a solution that fits your needs.

Pitsco Education - Grades 3-5 Turn STEM into STREAM

Turn STEM into STREAM

As a pioneer of hands-on STEM instruction, we have seen elementary students flourish when provided the opportunity to do science. We’ve seen math concepts stick when real-world application is present. And we know that time and resources for hands-on projects are limited for educators.

This is why, when developing our Grades 3-5 program, we turned STEM into STREAM and wove the important subjects of reading and art into each and every STEM-based Mission, all while maintaining student engagement through creativity, hands-on application, and real-life experimentation.

Plus, the STREAM Missions experience is inclusive and requires students to practice future-ready skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Pitsco Education - Grades 3-5 Program Outcomes

“I love that because in the workplace you’re given certain responsibilities. That’s what you do in a job. The fact that they’re learning that now at the elementary age is amazing.”

– Matthew Way, STREAM lab facilitator, Sweeny Elementary School, Sweeny, Texas (on student roles in STREAM Missions)

“At times, they have individual accountability, sometimes small teams, sometimes large teams. They’re learning those skills of how to communicate, collaborate, support, how to assess, how to provide feedback and accomplish something, which is pretty powerful.”

– Dr. Gregory Firn, superintendent, Anson County, North Carolina

“Tapping into the genius of every student, that has just really become sort of a tagline for the STREAM lab.”

– Dr. Tory C. Hill, superintendent, Sweeny ISD, Sweeny, Texas
