ASA 2022 STEAM EXPO

Check out the nearly 100 submissions from our elementary, middle, and high

school students!

Our theme this year is Apocalyptic Innovation. Many of us are familiar with

the quote "Necessity is the mother of all invention." What we might not be

familiar with is that many of our children and students feel anxiety and

apprehension about the state of the world we are giving to them. Rising sea

levels, burning forests, and increasing microplastics in animals are just a

few of the signs of a deteriorating climate. Under the pressure of various

approaching disasters, we need to radically innovate the way we live to

avoid leaving the world a far worse place than we found it.

Occurring alongside the STEAM Expo, Art Show, and Tri-M Concert is the

LatinThinks

Design Conference. This is a collaborative event with five other

embassy-supported international schools in the Latin American Region. This

is the second time that ASA has hosted this design conference and you might

remember the first time when it was branded as RoboHack.

The goal of the LatinThinks Design Conference is to empower international

students across Latin America to design innovative solutions to

21st-century challenges. Students connect with mentors, create using design

tech tools, collaborate with peers, and communicate ideas for official

recognition. Keep checking the official conference website (

Friday Conference Showcase.
