STEAM In ICC

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Multimedia.

STEAM at ICC stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Multimedia. Introduced in 2014, it enriches our British curriculum by blending academic learning with creative, practical problem-solving. Inspired by global models like Boston Arts Academy, our version of STEAM encourages students to think both scientifically and artistically.

Why STEAM At ICC?

We are proud of the many students who have graduated from ICC and gone on to thrive in top high schools and universities locally and abroad.

Our adoption of STEAM is rooted in our core values:

  • Innovation & Creativity
  • Ethical & Moral Development
  • Skills Enrichment

The programme is built around the RICO Framework:

  • Refine: Express learning through strengths
  • Invent: Encourage originality
  • Connect: Engage real-world audiences
  • Own: Take pride in work and results

STEAM Deployment

STEAM at ICC has always been a project-based learning programme where students tackle real-life problems and present real-world solutions. This hands-on approach develops critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills needed to navigate today’s challenges.

Since 2014, STEAM has been a key feature of the second term at ICC. Each year, students participate in the STEAM Fair, held at the end of every second (2nd) term, to showcase real-world solutions for a real world problem. It’s not a science fair — it’s a problem-based learning platform. The Fair celebrates student-built projects aimed at solving real-life challenges.

The 2025 STEAM theme was “Innovating for a Sustainable Future.” Projects included:

  • A model prosthetic bionic arm
  • An electric car
  • A water treatment model for galamsey-polluted water
  • A smart home system
  • A speed camera design

We follow the motto: “Less is More. Depth Over Coverage.”

Technology & Google Integration

As a Google School, ICC uses Google Workspace for paperless tests, feedback, and digital communication. Computers are used for:

  • Digital assessments
  • Literacy projects
  • Green screen video editing
  • Research
  • Homework sharing with parents

Device safety and management protocols are in place to ensure secure use.

Looking Ahead

We want to become an Engineering High School — a school focused on nurturing students with academic strengths in Robotics, Engineering, Technology, and Science. STEAM will continue to guide both academic and career-focused learning. Our roadmap for secondary school integration is in development and will be shared soon.
