The “A” in STEAM doesn’t just stand for painting and drawing. “Art” encompasses the language arts, social studies, physical arts, music and fine arts. For teachers, this could mean everything from having students complete cross-curricular projects to using art and design to explain new science concepts in a more manageable and intuitive way. Many teachers are finding that the creativity this requires may lead to more work, but is well worth it when the students are able to learn from this personalized, customizable exploratory method.
