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 in March 2026.

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

About Our Previous STEAM Showcases

Enjoy this video that Fulton County Schools created celebrating our 15th Annual STEAM Showcase.

On March 13, 2024, Sandy Springs Education Force presented our 14th Annual STEAM Showcase. The public attended this exciting, hands-on STEAM event from 6-8 pm. We so appreciate that many of our long-time exhibitors and sponsors, as well as numerous exciting new exhibitors and sponsors, have participated in this very successful event attended by over 1700 middle and high school students during the day and over 900 elementary school students and community members at night.

Learn more about how our schools used their Sandy Springs Education Force STEAM Legacy Grants to provide extraordinary learning opportunities students would not otherwise experience. Please click here to learn more.

The Oracle, the North Springs High School student newspaper, covered our STEAM Showcase.

Review the videos that Fulton County Schools created about the event in 2025, 2024 and 2023:

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. In 2024, it was the only tournament in Georgia, for the International Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools. 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.
