STEAMulate Laser Tag Progam Overview

This innovative STEAM-based curriculum joins together laser tag, STEAM, and design thinking to provide student-driven opportunities to engage in STEAM-related content in authentic and interactive ways. The curriculum is designed to walk youth through five weeks of discussing core STEAM-related competencies and five weeks of game design based on design thinking principles. Students will be introduced to key STEAM-competencies and then practice these competencies in the context of laser tag and game design. They will then engage in discussions around how these competencies play out in future possible careers. Through this course, youth are provided with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of STEAM outside of the classroom, discuss possible careers, and design their own laser tag game.
