What is STEAM education?

STEAM education is a comprehensive education that integrates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

STEAM is an educational concept that is different from the traditional single-subject education method that emphasizes book knowledge.

STEAM is a transdisciplinary education concept that emphasizes practice.

The success of anything does not only rely on the realization of a certain ability, but requires a combination of multiple abilities.

For example, the construction process of high-tech electronic products requires not only science and technology, the use of high-tech means to innovate product functions, but also good-looking appearance, that is, comprehensive talents in art and other aspects. Therefore, the use of a single skill can no longer support the development of future talents.

, in the future, what we need is multi-faceted comprehensive talents.

Thus exploring the STEAM education concept.

Extended information: The STEAM education concept was first proposed by the U.S. government as an educational initiative to strengthen K12 education in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in the United States.
