STEAM Education
Edit

STEAM education is an interdisciplinary educational approach that integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into connected learning experiences centered on inquiry, design, creativity, and problem solving [1][2][3][4][5]. Rather than teaching each subject in isolation, STEAM education organizes curriculum around authentic questions or projects that require learners to apply concepts and methods from multiple disciplines [1][2]. A defining feature is the inclusion of the arts (e.g., design, visual communication, creativity, aesthetics, and human-centered thinking) to broaden STEM learning and support innovation, engagement, and meaning-making [2][3][4]. In educational research and practice, STEAM education is characterized by project-based and design-based pedagogies, collaboration, iterative prototyping, and performance-oriented assessment aligned with real-world contexts [3][4][5].
