Turning STEM into STEAM

We need to continue to STEAM ahead- It's time to merge the Arts and Science Education.
The Wolf Trap's Institute of Education, are trying to do something different and incorporate art with math and science. It is part of the STEM movement.that seems to be gaining some momentum-also known by many as "STEAM." They believe that the addition of the art's to the STEM project can help students and teachers improve their creativity in the projects, and can give the students of the ideal of having their own sense of innovation for what they've created. They believe that this is specifically what the art's contribute to the learning process. Wolf trap's programs allowing teaching artists to come to the classroom for about 30 minutes for an activity and meet with teachers outside of class to develop a curriculum that engages the children.
