Salvadori Whitepaper | Closing the STEAM Equity Divide
This White Paper was developed as an initiative to better position Salvadori Center with City Officials. In addition, it was to secure funding for partnerships between Salvadori Center and other organizations throughout New York City. It discusses how STEAM education is funded by the NYC Department of Education schools and the availability of the STEAM programming. This document was created and designed using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.
DESIGN & CONTENT STRATEGY
About Salvadori Center:
Salvadori’s mission is to teach science, technology, engineering, arts/architecture, and math (STEAM) to all K-12 students but primarily those in under-resourced communities, through a collaborative, hands-on, project-based approach that uses the built environment ~ buildings, bridges, parks, and communities ~ that shows students how STEAM is relevant to their lives.
1. STUDENT PHOTOS:
The main element of visual appeal lies in the student photos, portraying the dynamic and collaborative experience of Salvadori's STEAM programs. These images vividly capture the essence of engaged learners in STEAM, providing a representation of the impactful educational experiences facilitated by Salvadori Center.
2. BOLDED QUOTES OF FEEDBACK:
Strategically placed throughout the whitepaper, bolded quotes provide feedback and testimonials. These quotes, often from Salvadori clients and professionals within the Education industry, providing authentic insights into the impact of Salvadori programs. Emphasizing feedback in this was a part of the content strategy in creating genuine understanding of Salvadori's contributions to STEAM education.
3. BLUE SIDE BAR:
The blue bar serves as a distinctive feature on select pages. Within this bar, readers encounter compelling quotes or stories that further amplify the impact of Salvadori programs. Accompanied by additional photos, the blue bar not only adds a visually appealing element but also serves as a focused space for conveying the essence of Salvadori's project-based learning.
