The Sage School 5th Annual STEAM Expo
The Sage School will host its 5th Annual STEAM Expo at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge on Monday, December 17 at 6:00 pm. The theme this year is Urban Equity.
Designers, developers, investors and policymakers are faced with increasingly tough choices as to how to intervene within changing urban physical and social landscapes. How do you maintain the DNA of the city when it undergoes profound transformations? Who is the city for? How do you reconcile public and private interests? Who pays and who gains?
These are others are some of the questions that Sage upper school students tackled in this year’s (2018/19) STEAM expo. They defined a large set of inequities as determined by economic status, gender, disabilities, age etc. and then, with the help of inspiring professional partners, went on to dive deeper into these problems with an attempt to offer one, focused yet robust inspiring solution. At the Expo you will get to see and hear from the students about their innovative products. An amazing evening to see the solutions to today's challenges from tomorrow's leaders.
Some projects are:
The Butterfly Effect - community center within a housing project
Medi-Doze Box - medication dispenser for mental patients

S.N.A.P.y Card Code - unique barcode system on food stamps to encourage healthy eating
