STEAM Educational Resources for K-8 Teachers from SAM Labs

STEAM Solution

Easily integrate STEAM into everyday learning.

The SAM Labs STEAM solution brings real-world science concepts to life through engaging, hands-on learning. Students are guided to innovate systems that power prototypes and create solutions. From a smart greenhouse to a drag parachute, a seed dispersing squirrel to a working model of erosion, students solidify their skills through our STEAM approach.

Flow-Based Coding
Lesson Plans and Support
Hardware Included

Empower students to create and learn.

Our STEAM solution helps K-5 educators prepare their students by introducing STEAM concepts from an early age. Use easy-to-teach coding and prototyping solutions to teach science, mathematics, and critical thinking.

The STEAM solution provides everything you need to implement STEAM in your classroom. Our 75+ hours of lessons are designed to increase student engagement, decrease teacher workload, and build confidence. Standards alignment maps, tutorial videos, formative assessments, and grade overviews are included to support your planning.

The simplest interface for coding.

You will receive a 1-year subscription to web-based learning platform SAM Studio—to build confidence in young coders with the opportunity to make advancements and build in complexity. This includes 2 coding platforms, SAM Space (flow-based coding) and SAM Blockly (block-based coding). For the STEAM course, students will use the flow-based coding.

All you need to teach STEAM.

75+ hours of modular K-5 lesson plans that are standards aligned to integrate into your classroom, no matter your time constraints.

For the US, our STEAM solution is aligned to the following national standards: 100% NGSS coverage (Grades K-5), Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Engineering Design, CSTA Computer Science, CCSS Math, and CCSS ELA. We are also aligned to Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas standards.

We’ve utilized Nearpod to combine SAM Labs’ standards-aligned STEAM & coding curriculum with Nearpod’s interactive technology. Engage students with interactive videos, quizzes, games, and more.

Use SAM Labs’ Formative Assessments to monitor student learning and provide ongoing feedback, all without leaving the app.

You also receive certified educator onboarding and ongoing personalized support to ensure smooth implementation and adoption.
