TLAM Students Developing Black History Month NFTs

TLAM Students Developing Black History Month NFTs
Honoring Black History Month is a tradition filled
with parades, breakfast events, luncheons, dinners,
and social celebrations in honoring men, women,
boys, and girls throughout history.

BHM 2022 is experiencing a change because of the
advancements of digital tools and platforms. The
Metaverse, NFTs and other advancing tech is giving
rise to digital expressions of celebration and
honoring those of the past.

Twin Lakes Academy STEAM students have built some
amazing digital NFTs in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Wendell Scott, the first Black man to win a sanctioned
NASCAR event and creating amazing digital NFT business
cards to start the process of business ownership and
entrepreneurialism.

Students will be using these digital skills and more in
the future as business owners and entrepreneurs.
These project-based learning opportunities represent
the value of project based learning and engagement
in digital environments that students must be able to
travel through, build, create and manage as the

Metaverse and Web 3.0 environments are created.
The values that STEM, STEAM and STREAM have in
connecting with the future of the Metaverse, NFTs
and Web 3.0, NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens) shows the
importance of The Arts and Artistic Expression as it
relates to technology.

The use in learning concepts of Design and Modeling
builds perspectives on digital and real options for
employment and preparation for life in a growing
digital age. Teachers must also adapt and be ready
to teach digital students not with antique models
of instruction, but models that incorporate digital
technologies.

As STEAM Educators and Advocates for STEAM Learning
my wife and I are very proud of the students and their
successes and the continued growth and development
they are showing. Continued learning means that they
will meet with success, advancement in digital careers
and not be left behind as the world changes and embraces
technology that will increase the engagement of humans,
digital spaces, robotics, and digital currencies.

Presented below are works that students have
created in the STEAM classes
