MACON, Ga. — Many schools are putting a major focus on STEAM programs, which stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math.
Cirrus Academy students are in the classroom working on fractions and equations from the experiment they did the day before.
It's part of the Starbase Robins program headed by Audra Hubbard.
"Starbase is a department of defense youth program that focuses on 5th graders and we teach STEM and there are over 70 Starbases throughout the United States and we are housed at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins," Hubbard said.
