A World of Possibility: Creating IDEA Space for STEAM Learners

Powered by The Barstow School in Kansas City, Missouri, the Dan & Cassidy Towriss IDEA Space is a state-of-the-art learning center where students in preschool through grade 12 increase their comfort and confidence in STEAM fields.
Using science, technology, engineering, the arts and math as the conduits, student makers and doers acquire 21st century skills that include creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, problem solving and design thinking. IDEA Space puts a world of possibility in your child's hands, and provides them with future-proof skills through fun, active and engaging after school and summer classes.
Interested in an independent study in computer science, 3D and laser technology or a STEAM project of your own design? We can help you create it. This is the place to go for gaming and eSports, digital arts, engineering and design thinking and any course you can imagine that harnesses STEAM properties.
In this video, Shane Foster, President of The Barstow Schools, and Director Cassie Banka explain how IDEA Space began, how it will adapt to the changing landscape of STEAM education, of STEAM education, and the importance of learning resilience through consistent and ongoing STEAM experiences as students prepare for success in college or in the workforce.
