Designing STEAM Learning for Real-World Impact: Cultivating Growth Mindset Through Iteration
In this session, Maya Hammoud, STEAM educator and Teach For Lebanon alumna, shares how her students transformed real-world challenges—damaged homes, electricity shortages, and disrupted communities—into hands-on STEAM learning opportunities. Through iterative design of sustainable housing projects using reclaimed materials, her students developed a growth mindset, resilience, and agency, learning to solve complex problems with creativity and persistence.

Join Maya as she shares practical strategies for integrating resilience and iterative design into project-based STEAM learning. Explore ways to guide students through the inevitable cycles of failure and redesign inherent in solving problems—such as energy efficiency or sustainable material sourcing—helping them build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a growth mindset as determined, innovative leaders.

Objectives:
  • Connect with fellow STEAM educators who are passionate about guiding students to become confident leaders by solving real-world challenges through hands-on, engaging STEAM projects.
  • Explore strategies for designing iterative STEAM challenges that build students’ resilience and growth mindset.
  • Learn ways to foster student agency, guiding learners to reflect, adapt, and refine their solutions.
  • Draw inspiration from real-world sustainable architecture projects that teach perseverance and creative problem-solving.
