"I have no hesitation in saying we need to add the letter A... An education devoid of the Arts is an empty, half-brain kind of education."– Howard GardnerSTEM programs in education have promoted Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics since the early 2000s through a hands-on, multidisciplinary approach to learning. They assist in the development of critical thinking skills, scientific literacy, computational thinking and have enabled a new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.Nearly 20 years later, we're now seeing the exciting inclusion of Art in these programs, sparking new opportunities for innovative and creative expression. Students involved in STEAM learning programs identify authentic problems, iteratively develop potential solutions and showcase their understanding in a variety of ways. In this workshop, participants will explore the world of STEAM and learn how to create engaging, student-centered learning experiences. Leveraging the power of design thinking, problem based learning, and each component of STEAM, participants will walk away with the ability to create a framework to redesign learning experiences in their classrooms.
