STEAM Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematcs Add the arts to your STEM programme
Since the early 2000s, there’s been a focus on STEM programmes in schools. This is because future economic growth relies on workers who have skills in the rising job markets of science, technology, engineering and maths.
Schools and Colleges have adapted to STEM learning through 1:1 device strategies and STEM, coding and robotics clubs. While these initiatives have started to address the skills gap we have in the UK, STEM learning misses out key areas of development - creativity and innovation. To make students truly future-fit, they need to be able to apply their learnings, to create and demonstrate ingenuity.
This is why the STEM to STEAM movement began. Many employers and educators are concerned that STEM alone misses elements that are critical for students to prepare and thrive. STEAM integrates the benefits of STEM with the principles of art and design. STEAM is a starting point to guide student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
