STEAM Initiatives

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (STEAM) Showcase and Outreach

Each year, SSEF presents an Annual STEAM Showcase for the 11 Sandy Springs public schools and the community. The 16th Annual STEAM Showcase will be on March 17, 2026.

Learn more about this exciting opportunity and how to sponsor this impactful event.

Our 15th Annual Hands-On Technology & Arts Exhibition/STEAM Showcase on March 5th offered an unforgettable opportunity to explore the latest innovations in science, technology, engineering, the arts and math (STEAM) via interactive exhibits designed to spark curiosity and creativity.

Participants joined community, education, business and government leaders to gain insights into how STEAM initiatives are shaping the future of our community. They learned about the many STEAM initiatives Sandy Springs Education Force offers to support our schools and view students’ work.
This FREE event was open to all ages and offered something for everyone—students, families and tech enthusiasts alike!

The Showcase is followed by STEAM outreach events, field trips and programs in our schools. SSEF twice received the Georgia STEM Award for Extracurricular Programs by the Technology Association of Georgia for this program. This program serves 2300 students at an annual cost per student of $5.00.

Legacy Grants

From the funds raised through STEAM Showcase sponsorships, SSEF offers STEAM grant opportunities to all public schools in Sandy Springs for ongoing after-school STEAM clubs and programs. Grant recipients display their projects at the annual STEAM Showcase. This program serves 260 students at an annual cost of $122 per student. View videos outlining how five of our schools used their Sandy Springs Education Force STEAM Legacy Grants to provide extraordinary learning opportunities students would not otherwise experience.

SSEF Math Madness Tournament

Sandy Springs Education Force hosts a Math Olympiad. The objectives of MOEMS® are to teach multiple strategies for outside-of-the-box problem solving, develop mathematical flexibility in solving those problems and foster mathematical creativity and ingenuity.  Teams of third, fourth, fifth and sixth graders prepare throughout the year and compete at the Olympiad on a Saturday. SSEF covers all costs for this program; families and schools participate for free.
