On October 25, Hialeah Gardens Middle School (HGM) is hosting its first annual Interactive S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) night for the community of Miami Lakes as well as students and parents. The event will take place at 6 p.m. in the school’s cafeteria. Participants will be able to visit a variety of classrooms and participate in various hands-on S.T.E.A.M. related activities.
This year, HGM became the only Miami-Dade County public middle school to gain a gold S.T.E.A.M school designation for three years in a row. Students gain hands-on experience through elective courses like the agriscience program, which features over 30 animals including a zebu cow and an aquaponics tank. Other classroom programs include sailing and nautical classes with CPR certification.
Through the business program, students can also earn Microsoft Office specialist certifications and Internet Crime Complaint Center certifications (IC3) before their advancement to high school. HGM also offers additional courses in all areas of S.T.E.A.M. including biomedical, robotics, coding, dance, band, drama and more.
The HGM administration encourages the community to join them for the interactive S.T.E.A.M. night to get first-hand experience with what students are accomplishing every day.
