Welcome to STEAMHEALS

About
What We Do
We design and deliver standardized, project-based curricula in STEAM, healthcare, and nutrition that can be sent anywhere and tailored to the specific group and culture it is taught to. Our programs use simple, affordable materials so they can be easily replicated by teachers and volunteers anywhere. What makes STEAMHEALS unique is our emphasis on:
- Customization: We adapt each program to reflect the needs of the community we serve.
- Accessibility: We provide resources in multiple languages and formats so no child is left behind.
- Mentorship: College and high school students teach and mentor younger peers, fostering leadership and community.
- Global Connection: We bring together students, educators, and institutions across borders to share knowledge and build impact.
Our Programs
Students 4 STEAM

Healthy HEALs
Our nutrition and wellness curriculum, developed by UNC students, is taught in Thailand and India. Programs cover topics such as exercise habits, healthy eating, and menstrual health education.
