Coppell ISD Launches First-of-its-Kind STEAM Program for Elementary School Students

A North Texas school district is bringing STEAM education to every elementary school student this academic year. Coppell ISD says it's the only program of its kind in the metroplex.

"There's other programs out there, but nothing like we're doing here," said Mike Yakubovsky, the STEAM instructional coach for Coppell ISD. "Every student in the district gets it. It's not some of the students. It's not a GT pull-out program. This is every student—kindergarten through fifth grade—is getting this experience." With the science, technology, engineering, arts and math curriculum, students have to think outside the box to solve real-world problems.
