Welcome to eko-STEAM: Building Bridges, a supplemental curriculum to help educators bridge STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) learning with a deep connection to nature and humanity. Think of eko-STEAM as providing a context for learning. Children learn best when they have a connection to the material being taught through immersive, project-based programs. eko-STEAM doesn’t replace existing STEAM curriculum, it enhances it. It makes it more likely that students will retain the knowledge they have acquired. These lessons also help students understand the impact of that learning and their power to utilize it in the world around them to address a wide assortment of issues. eko-STEAM is, at its essence, a moral context for the use of human knowledge. With this, you can help them build not only knowledge but the wisdom to use it for our global community and planet.

Next Generation Science Standards

Social emotional learning

Experiential Peacebuilding

Connections to Nature

Team Imo believes that children and youth connect to learning best when they focus on place and project. The neurology of attention and the psychology of learning show that nature is an amazing classroom. There aren't too many lessons you can teach that can't be taught in nature. 

That's where eko-STEAM comes in. 

Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. Math..... all in the context of the natural world.

Each lesson includes some element of social-emotional development while the student learns about various Next Generation Science Standards in nature. 

eko-STEAM curriculum is perfectly suited for schools, afterschool programs, youth groups, camps, scouts, neighborhood groups, homeschools, nature schools, and more.

Let Project Imo help build your curriculum so THEY can help change their world.
