                                                                        STEAM

 STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and it is all based in Mathematical elements. 

STEAM brings a whole new different perspective for learning. Students are doing more hands-on projects and are learning more from these projects. STEAM covers all disciplines and works with all students, since we all don't learn the same. This new form of learning is a great way for our students to understand life experiences, and it helps them apply what they've learned to their already developing lives. 

The lessons for STEAM are more interactive than traditional classroom lessons. However, don't think that STEAM doesn't follow the Common Core Standards because it does! Traditional learning will still happen, but it won't be as successful. 

This is what I personally like about STEAM is that it incorporates art. Since many schools cut the art programs, this is a great way to keep the students building,drawing,learning about art. I do believe that this is something that is beneficial for students. Having an art based project helps the other subjects of Math, Engineering, Science, and Technology build off of one another.
