Extending Beyond STEM: Transforming Arts-Integrated Education with Innovative STEAM Workshops
For a long time, schools have marketed STEM degrees and careers as if life were a narrow corridor with only a few exclusive doors. The width of that passageway is increasing. The transferable STEAM skills create fascinating opportunities where creativity and reasoning coexist. The shift from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to STEAM (where the "A" stands for the arts) is a watershed in education.
Creativity and emotional intelligence are still uniquely human in this new era, even though machines may be able to perform many tasks. STEAM is creating a generation of dreamers and thinkers who are prepared to not only keep up with the world but also to transform it into something spectacular by fusing these qualities with technical know-how.
To further STEAM education, accompany The MoSAIC on this adventure. It represents a paradigm change and a link to a day when the arts and sciences will collaborate.
