Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and careers have been an important part of the development of the modern world; however it is important to not discount the importance of the Arts in providing a well rounded education and career.
Studies have shown that the addition of the arts (music, theatre, painting, writing, architecture, etc)
to STEM can:
·
Improve
math and reading scores,
|
·
Boost
attention, memory and problem solving,
· Encourage and foster the imagination needed for excellence in other
fields
STEAM Focuses on:
Knowledge and understanding
Critical appreciation
Cultural
heritage
Artistic skills
Cultural diversity
Creativity
STEM is a necessary but not sufficient condition. Art
and Design is
a part of the other requirements, but nowhere near enough important to change
the focus from STEM to STEAM.
