What is STEAM? STEAM education is the real-world application of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. It is the intentional and authentic integration between two or more content areas to drive instruction through observation, inquiry and problem solving. The integration with art and design is a means of connecting and communicating understanding of content areas, not just as an enhancement in a lesson.
