Meet The STEAM Team

We are a passionate team of students dedicated to making learning exciting, creative, and meaningful for kids. Founded by a Wheeler High School junior who believes every child deserves to discover the joy of STEAM.

The People Running The STEAM Team

Our leadership is entirely student-run — high schoolers who believe that the best way to learn is to teach.

CTO

Every kid deserves a moment where science actually clicks. I joined The STEAM Team because I wanted to be part of making that happen. As CTO I build and manage the website and handle logistics so the rest of the team can show up fully to every library and school visit.

The Person Behind The STEAM Team

Daiwik Goel

Founder & Director — The STEAM Team

My name is Daiwik Goel, a junior at Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA, and I love helping kids discover new things in fun and engaging ways.

I believe that by combining science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, we can inspire curiosity and innovation in the next generation. I created The STEAM Team to spark creativity, encourage problem-solving, and make learning an adventure for every child.

Since officially licensing a company as a nonprofit can be challenging for those under 18 and without U.S. citizenship, we plan to register as a nonprofit organization in the future once we meet all requirements. In the meantime, we're building something real — hosting free workshops, partnering with libraries, and growing a team of student educators.

How The STEAM Team Came to Be

The STEAM Team started with a simple belief: that hands-on learning changes kids' lives. When Daiwik Goel looked around at his community, he saw an opportunity to bring free, high-quality STEAM education directly to kids at their local libraries.

What began as a vision quickly became reality through a partnership with the Cobb County Public Library System. The STEAM Team began volunteering at Sewell Mill Library, running free workshops where kids could build, experiment, and discover — all while being guided by enthusiastic student volunteers.

Every workshop is designed to cover all five STEAM disciplines and to leave every child with something they built themselves — and the knowledge that they can be a scientist, engineer, and artist all at once.

See Our Activities

Students Teaching Students

High school volunteers run every workshop. This isn't just education for kids — it's leadership development for our team members too.

Our Team Values

These are the principles that guide how we run every workshop, recruit every volunteer, and serve every kid.

Passion for Learning

We believe curiosity is the most powerful force in education. We nurture it at every event.

Inclusivity

STEAM is for every kid — regardless of background, experience, or ability. All of our events are free and open to all.

Hands-On First

We don't lecture — we build. Kids learn by doing, failing, and doing again. That's the engineer's way.

Student Leadership

Our team is run by students, for students. We develop the next generation of educators and leaders.

Community Impact

We show up where kids already are — at their local library — to make access to STEAM as easy as possible.

Always Improving

Just like the kids we teach, we iterate on our programs. Every event makes us better at what we do.

Our Meeting & Program Structure

We operate lean and efficiently — so that all of our energy goes toward actually running great workshops.

Weekly Team Sync

A weekly check-in meeting (online or in-person) to coordinate logistics, review upcoming events, and keep everyone on the same page.

Monthly In-Person Meeting

At least one mandatory in-person meeting per month for all student volunteers to plan, practice activities, and bond as a team.

Library & Partner Meetings

We meet with our library and school partners at their convenience to plan events, select activities, and coordinate logistics.

Monthly Programs

We aim to run at least one STEAM workshop per month at a partner library — or more frequently when scheduling allows!
