Mission

Salvadori’s mission is to teach science, technology, engineering, arts/architecture, and math (STEAM) to all K-12 students, but primarily those in under-resourced communities, through a collaborative, hands-on, project-based approach that uses the built environment - buildings, bridges, parks, and communities - that shows students how STEAM is relevant to their lives.

Vision

  • Make STEAM intellectually accessible for all learners

  • Increase students’ comprehension of grade-level STEAM

  • Provide students with culturally relevant STEAM learning (leaders & examples)

  • Help all students see themselves as successful in STEAM

  • Foster appreciation for, and interest in, STEAM degrees and careers

Values

A respectful environment for our partners, students, staff, and volunteers with a continued commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Teaching that incorporates different learning styles to help all learners succeed.

An approach that builds college and career skills including collaboration, critical-thinking, creativity, and communication.

  • Collaboration: working together to hypothesize, build, test, and solve problems

  • Critical thinking: analyzing how and why things work

  • Creativity: posing creative solutions to real-world challenges

  • Communication: listening, learning,
    and articulating complex ideas
    and concepts
