Science leads at West Melbourne School for Science, a Brevard Public Schools elementary on Meadowlane Avenue whose mission centers on scientific discovery and technology. A new addition gave us science labs, a STEAM room, upgraded music and art spaces and a larger cafeteria. Our STEAM program blends science, technology, engineering, arts and math through hands-on design challenges and collaborative projects. Students rotate through art, media, music, physical education and STEAM activity classes, and our media center supports reading in every grade. Clubs give students more time to build and compete. Robotics teams design, build and code robots for alliance-style matches, and Odyssey of the Mind and Future Problem Solvers teams tackle open-ended challenges. Fifth and sixth graders in Destination Mars meet after school to solve problems future explorers would face on Mars and present at a district competition, and our before- and after-school Destination Moon club focuses on coding and robotics. Students also have access to free live and AI tutoring.
