STEAM League Curriculum

With over a decade of experience working hand-in-hand with teachers, the LV STEAM League curriculum is designed specifically for educators, even those without a science background. We provide step-by-step directions, complete lesson plans, and a full suite of support materials so teachers feel confident bringing STEAM to their students. We also offer hands-on training and weekend open houses where educators can meet with curriculum authors to get personalized guidance on how to make these programs come alive in their classrooms. In short, we’re here to support educators every step of the way.

Phase Zero: Flexible, Anytime Lessons

Phase Zero lessons are independent activities perfect for a rainy day or a last-minute class. They can be taught at any time, giving educators a ready-to-go resource for sparking curiosity whenever it’s needed.

Phase I: Intro to Electronics

Our Phase One curriculum introduces students to the basics of electronics—wiring, breadboarding, and even soldering. It’s a hands-on way to get comfortable with circuits and build a foundation for more advanced projects.

Phase II: Arduino Foundations

introduces students to real microcontroller programming as they learn how computers sense and interact with the physical world. Through hands-on projects with sensors, lights, and sound, students write their own code to gather information, evaluate the data, and create visible results.

Phase III: Auto-Bot Rover

Phase III is where everything students learned in earlier phases finally comes together. After exploring basic robotics ideas in Phase I and building confidence with coding and simple electronics in Phase II, students now step into the full creative process of designing, wiring, and programming an autonomous robot.

Microbit – Rover and Game Coder

In the Hydro-Lifter section, students dive into hydro-mechanical lessons that teach them how to use hydraulic power to lift small weights. They’ll explore the six simple machines and the core principles of mechanical engineering in a fun, engaging way.
