Merging Creativity with STEM for Meaningful Learning

Course Overview

This Knowledge Bloc introduces educators to the benefits of merging Arts into a traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) environment for meaningful learning.  

Participants will learn how the Arts empower creativity, problem solving, and innovation in students alongside the technical skills from STEM. They will learn to identify the factors needed for a highly effective STEAM lesson and understand the benefits criteria and constraints bring to challenges.

This Knowledge Bloc is primarily designed for educators who are looking to explore STEAM learning and those who would like to help foster creativity, rigor, and empowerment in their classrooms. 

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Recall how STEAM evolved and why.
  • Describe the differences between STEAM and STEM.
