beginning in 2021-22, los al Schools are given the option of putting on a steam fair with laef support for a teacher stipend and expenses budget.
The decision to hold a STEAM Fair is in the hands of school principals, along with having staff members willing to coordinate.
LAEF is no longer hosting the district-wide steam showcase.
however, steam funding continues!
in december of 2021, laef awarded steam grants
to each los al school totaling over $75,000!
Direct Steam grants to los al schools now total
$400,000 since 2016!!
