Technological change is accelerating. Many parents recognize STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) are fundamental in preparing their children for the careers of the future, but see schools more focused on traditional studies. Steamoji’s 400-hour curriculum is designed to fill the gap in a structured and reinforcing fashion across each subject pathway. Students are taught basic skills, then encouraged to practically apply them in the spirit of “Build to Solve™”. Steamoji app gives you access to track progress for your children's activities at Steamoji Academy. You can view and manage upcoming sessions for your child, book camps, invite family members, watch and share progress videos. The app provides you access to all Steamoji Academies.
