STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. The idea of emphasizing these subjects in delivering the curriculum has been driven by the business community, with the goal of preparing students for a competitive work environment.
STEAM skills are vital for success in the 21st century and critical to our collective future. The National Academy of Engineers has identified 14 Grand Challenges that the world faces in this century. Each of these grand challenges can be solved by lifelong learners of STEAM.
