5th Annual STEAM Colloquium

On January 30th, 2015, the Contra Costa County Office of Education hosted the 5th Annual San Francisco Bay Area STEAM Colloquium.

MRCR Education attended this event for the third consecutive year.  It was, once again, a successful event, planned by Hilary Dito STEAM Coordinator at the Contra Costa County Office of Education.

From the continental breakfast, to the keynote speaker, breakout sessions, lunch with Assembly Member Susan Bonilla, and STEAM resource gallery & fair, the colloquium was filled with information, resources, and inspiration, for the attendees.

There were hands on activities, the latest information on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) & Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS), and lots of creative ideas, lesson plans and curriculum being implemented by schools and districts throughout the Bay Area.

MRCR Education would like to thank the Contra Costa County Office of Education and congratulate Hilary Dito for putting together such wonderful event.

We look forward to the 6th colloquium next year and hope to be once again a part of this event.  Listed below are some of the resources in attendance at the colloquium.  Please feel free to contact them and ask how you can collaborate with them in making STEAM education a part of everyday education.
