Let's make it clear right away that STEAM is not a purely technical education. Actually, the abbreviation stands for Science (natural sciences), Technology (technology), Engineering (technical creativity), Art (art) and Mathematics (mathematics).
It is interesting that STEAM education was conceived as shaping critical thinking in children, the ability to learn and deepen their knowledge.
In addition, all STEAM training programs are formed in such a way that the knowledge gained is immediately put into practice.
The name STEM (that's how the name was first formed, and then the letter A was added) arose in 2001 to indicate a trend in the educational and professional fields thanks to scientists from the US National Science Foundation.
How is STEAM education different from regular education?
First of all, the construction of the lesson. The entire educational process is focused around the problem, phenomenon, situation under study, and not the teacher. The teacher is a mentor who helps to find a solution.
