Learning Objectives

• Explore how water supports and sustains life by examining marine ecosystems and the science of water cycles and habitats.
• Apply engineering and design principles to construct a balanced, three-dimensional diorama that represents an underwater environment.
• Integrate art and creativity by using color, texture, and perspective to bring the ocean scene to life.
• Strengthen problem-solving skills as students plan, design, and build their underwater diorama using various materials and techniques.

What is STEAM?

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. By blending these subjects, students learn to think critically, design creatively, and solve problems in real-world ways. At the Ave Maria Arts and Innovation Circle (AMAIC), we connect every STEAM project to Catholic teaching, helping students discover God’s presence in both creation and innovation.
