STEM Mondays
Livestream Learning Studio is a live, award-winning, year-long school subscription service that delivers STEM enrichment through the thrill of the creative arts.
With weekly virtual theatre programs and supplemental curriculum for grades 3-5, the Studio delivers dynamic e-learning experiences that align with state and national education standards.
We all know that live, interactive learning resources work best in the classroom – and we have the data to prove it. Now Livestream Learning Studio can teach live at scale using our proprietary technology, delivering:
LIVESTREAM TITLES
Plus 64 virtual live experiences throughout the school year, all accessible through our event portal
RESOURCES
Professional development and lesson plans for educators included
INTERACTION
Live hosts who provide interactive learning and classroom activities
OF USE
No additional tech or IT involvement needed!
The Studio comes from the minds behind The National Theatre for Children (NTC), which has been delivering effective K-12 education programs to schools since 1978. Both Livestream Learning Studio and NTC know that educational programs enhanced by the creative arts deliver learning through laughter. That’s especially important in the world of STEM: encouraging students to explore science, technology, engineering and math at an early age sets them up for success later in life.
Through live, interactive theatre, standards-aligned activities and readymade lesson plans, the Studio delivers easy-to-use lessons that not only educate students in the world of STEM – they also excite and inspire them.
We offer 164 live STEM events throughout the year! Take a look at our 2022-23 STEM-themed programs:
Environmental Stewardship
- How conservation affects the environment
- Benefits of composting and biodegradables
- Ways you can conserve resources
- How reducing and reusing everyday items can help the environment
Next Generation Science Standards
4-ESS3-1: Earth and Human Activity
Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and their uses affect the environment.
ESS3.A: Natural Resources
Energy and fuels that humans use are derived from natural sources, and their use affects the environment in multiple ways. Some resources are renewable over time, and others are not.
5-ESS3-1: Earth and Human Activity
Individual communities use science to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
5-ESS2-2: Earth’s Systems
Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.
ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth’s Surface Processes
Nearly all of Earth’s available water is in the ocean. Most fresh water is in glaciers or underground; only a tiny fraction is in streams, lakes, wetlands and the atmosphere.
