Robotics, STEAM, and Computer Science

Sequoia Scholars rotate through STEAM Academy each week. Students in TK-6th grade, each trimester, will experience and become an expert in STEAM (3D Printing, hands-on science, project based learning, design thinking, or Robotics with a Computer Science focus) and a Visual and Performing Arts Academy (Dance, Music, Public Speaking/Performance, Art History, and Videography).

We are a STEA³M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Academics, AVID, and Mathematics) GATE Magnet Academy.
