Where we’ve been
Built for the schools others skip
Large STEAM providers need urban density to make their model work. We built a program that travels, because that’s the only way to reach every community in this state. Not on the map? If we can reach you, we want to be there.
Communities we serveFrequently asked questions
Do you travel to rural South Dakota schools?
Yes! Rural communities are exactly who we built Dakota STEAM Learning for. We’ve visited Murdo, Kadoka, Philip, Martin, Fort Pierre, Rapid City, and surrounding areas. If your district isn’t on the list, contact us. Distance is not a barrier.
How many times can we book you in one school year?
Book the Innovate Package once or up to 12 times. One visit gives teachers 1.5 hours of planning time per grade level; a full-year partnership gives each grade level 18 hours.
What does our school need to provide?
Nothing. We arrive with all STEAM materials, supplies, and equipment. No science lab, makerspace, or teacher prep needed. We teach in your existing classrooms.
Are your programs aligned with South Dakota Science Standards?
Yes. Activities are designed with South Dakota Science Standards and pacing guides in mind, with cross-curricular connections and real-world scenarios.
How much does a schoolwide program cost?
Pricing is based on the number of students and material costs. Send us your enrollment and preferred schedule and we’ll provide a detailed quote.
