STEAM

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.  While most are familiar with STEM, the “A” for Art has recently been added as if fosters creative and innovative thinking, in addition to problem solving skills.  Recently there has been a huge push in the United States to start incorporating STEAM into our children’s educational curriculum due in part to the lack of students entering into engineering and science fields of study and employment as compared to other countries.  Now is the time to encourage our children’s imagination, curiosity for how things work and inventive solutioning.
