Because Art Can Create Community

 

While a number of school districts around the country focus explicitly on hard science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), another type of education is growing in popularity. STEAM is an approach that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts and math to guide student development. Through STEAM, students are empowered to take thoughtful risks, engage in meaningful activities, embrace collaboration and work through the creative process.
