Upon my return to work, my students were finishing up their end of year STEAM projects. I wish I had been there for the entire project as I am finding it hard to help out not knowing much about STEAM.

STEAM is an educational approach  that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. It promotes open dialogue and critical thinking during the learning process.

Our students’ topic was: “If the Earth was no longer habitable, where would we live? How would we get food, air, medicine, etc.?” The students seemed to thoroughly enjoy this project.

I am very interested in looking more into STEAM over the summer. Have you ever taught using the STEAM approach?
