STEAM students learn to solve problems, they just might change the world

An interesting related concept to STEM is called STEAM. STEAM incorporates art/design as part of STEM skills. With the addition of art/design, children are better equipped to solve today’s problems because they are able to tap into 5 interdependent and well-rounded skills sets- science, technology, engineering, art/design, and mathematics. With an emphasis on project based learning, STEAM enthusiasts try to fix problems, applying STEM skills and art/design to create solutions.
