S.T.E.A.M.
Students in various grade levels can participate in our S.T.E.A.M. programs, which include but are not limited to those described below.
Science Lab
This lab course concentrates on the study of living organisms. Labs assist scholars to investigate objectives presented in class. Scholars practice and master such concepts as safety, graphing, measurement in the metric system, use of the computer, laboratory procedure, and working with laboratory equipment are stressed. This is a required course for the Living Environment Regents class.
Coding Class
This project-based course emphasizes coding in the language Visual Basic to focus upon the logic and structure of a computer program. This computer language is the medium through which these concepts are introduced and developed. In an environment that fosters individualized instruction, students learn to design their own program and develop independent projects.
Recycling Club
Students recognize the importance of our recycling club and how it has helped our school become more environmentally conscious. Recycling bins are in classrooms, workrooms, and office spaces to encourage students and staff to recycle paper. The recycling club collects these bins and takes the paper to our large recycling bin outside for pickup. It is the goal of this club to make Brooklyn Dreams Charter School a cleaner and "greener" school!
Community Gardening
Our students play a role in collaborating with other community members to tend to the Newkirk Community Garden, a gathering place for neighbors and friends to experience nature and grow in environmental stewardship.
