Episode 66: STEAM Education At The Alamo
More than 155,000 school-aged children visit the Alamo each year. While we hope all of them leave with a newfound love for history, we know not all of them will grow up to be historians. But there’s a good chance many of them will choose careers in STEAM fields. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
We reveal how the Alamo is becoming a leader in STEAM education, the different ways our Alamo experts work in STEAM every day, and how the rich history here at the Alamo is helping forge the jobs of the future. Featuring the Alamo's STEAM Education Specialist Morgan Oldham; the Alamo's Conservator Pam Jary Rosser; the Alamo's Director of Archaeology Dr. Tiffany Lindley; and the Alamo's Researcher Thomas Ledesma.
