Expand STEM with "A" Thinking
STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. The "A" is about visual arts and design but also language arts, humanities, music, drama, dance and media. STEAM is more than a tack-on to STEM. It’s a holistic interdisciplinary approach to learning. Why is STEAM important? The National Science Teaching Association said it best: “The Best STEM books emphasize real-world issues that cross disciplinary boundaries.” The “A” expands the STEM focus and encourages kids to employ a different set of creativity and inquiry skills.
