The LA Galaxy and Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) gave 250 middle school students across Los Angeles the opportunity to participate last month in an exclusive curriculum called LA Galaxy STEAM (Soccer, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), which was aimed at providing the student hands-on learning with soccer-based lesson plans.
The courses, which was created by SNHU faculty in accordance with California state standards for math and science, include “technology and the various states of a soccer ball,” “the math behind scoring a goal,” “nutrition and your lives on the field,” and a “soccer design challenge.”
During the soccer activities, which took place at the StubHub Center, students applied scientific and mathematical principles.
