What is STEAM?
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. STEAM builds the same technical skills as STEM, but adds a creative twist. It combines science and tech with art and design, so your child learns to solve problems in innovative, human-centered ways.
STEAM vs. STEM
While STEM focuses purely on technical subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math), STEAM adds an artistic dimension. This creative approach helps students develop problem-solving skills in a well-rounded, innovative way.
