  • STEAM Based Curriculum for Grades 3-12
    A STEAM Curriculum for Grades 3-12 An Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium Curriculum More than 200 large stadiums serve sports teams – and their fans - across the United States. But none is quite like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. From its inception, the goal for the facility was to stand above the rest, particularly in sustain- ability, fan experience and positive community impact. With accomplishments that in- clude a LEED Platinum rating by the U.S. Green Building Council, a thriving partnership with Westside Works (a community and workforce development organization), fan-first pricing and a world-class art collection, owner Arthur Blank and his team succeeded in their vision. Just as Mercedes-Benz Stadium was creatively designed for the future, students today are preparing for the world of tomorrow, where many will have careers that do not yet exist. Therefore, our approach to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium curriculum was to focus on the same priorities as the stadium builders while creating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) lessons that align with the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE). Lessons for each grade level include two focused on STEM subjects and one on Art & Design, with opportunities for students to flex their creativity embedded throughout. As educators we understand each class is different, so we wrote the lessons to be adaptable, providing flexibility for teachers to apply the curriculum appropriately for their classroom’s teaching and learning needs. Each lesson includes the relevant state standards; instructional guidelines for before, during and after a stadium tour; an extension section that adds a more challenging layer to the lesson; a shortened version for a quick learning experience; a service learning application; and possible career connections.
