How many times do you feel that your work is valued and recognized?
As educators, we have many powerful and effective ideas to help all children grow their seeds of potential. But more often than not, our practices are not recognized and it can be difficult to extend our ideas to a larger audience.
Today, we are proud to announce the opening of the STEAMed Awards. These awards will recognize creative, exciting and powerful ideas and strategies being used to effectively integrate the Arts and/or STEM in and through the curriculum. You’ve got the ideas and we want to share them!

* Upon the closing of the submission period, 10 STEAMed Award Semi-Finalists will be chosen by a team of judges. Each Semi-Finalist will have their idea featured as an article on The Institute and will receive an honorary virtual badge recognizing their achievements. Additionally, EdCloset readers will be able to vote for their favorite ideas during the week of July 15th.
