STEAM for Your Students
The Sheldon SOLID Project (Science of Learning Instrument Design) is a STEAM-based program that challenges students to design and create their own musical instruments by following the steps of the engineering cycle.
SOLID is designed to get students excited about creative problem solving by combining the creativity of the arts with STEM disciplines. This program provides the opportunity for students to receive instruction from Saint Louis Science Center and Sheldon staff, where they will learn about the connected worlds of sound, science and art.
All SOLID programming will be offered virtually this year!
Virtual learning opportunities include:
- A 45 minute zoom demonstration on the “Science of Sound” given by a Saint Louis Science Center representative. Q&A and student participation involved!
- A 45 minute zoom classroom session with a Sheldon teaching artist to assist in the instrument design and build.
- New this year! The Sheldon will provide supplemental topical videos relating to sound, instrument design, and acoustics, produced by the Saint Louis Science Center!
