District 99 hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate a new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) Lab on February 23rd. The lab is housed at Lincoln Elementary, 3545 S. 61st. Ave. Cicero, IL 60804.  This lab is the fourth STEAM lab to be opened in the last two school years; the goal is to open two more labs this year and eventually have a STEAM lab at every school in District 99.   “Our STEAM labs are open to all students and serve an important function by allowing students to complete hands-on, real-world application of 21st Century skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity and innovation”, said Superintendent Rudy Hernandez. The STEAM Lab is designed for students K-6 grade at Lincoln and will be used to supplement all curricular areas with an emphasis on integrated projects focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.  We invite you to cover our event and celebrate education with us.
