Connection Community News on STEAM
Over the past decade, significant strides have been made in introducing science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) curriculum. Yet one group of students has routinely shown a decline in interest and engagement in a STEAM curriculum beginning in middle school and continuing beyond.
Could an afterschool program be the key to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) growth and engagement for your students? Increasingly, schools are seeking strategies that introduce STEAM concepts and reinforce classroom learning. Afterschool programs provide time for projects, self-guided exploration, and supplemental programming to build skills, confidence, and ongoing interest in STEAM.
eSports are being propelled to the forefront of the sporting world. Technology plays a critical role in delivering the experience to fans and enabling players, from the streaming platforms that distribute broadcasts to the ergonomic setups that prevent injuries. The meteoric rise in popularity has led to competitions and gaming lounges being built around the country, and having the right technology setup is crucial to a successful eSports experience.
Makerspaces—also known as hackerspaces, creativity labs, and tech shops—have been a hot trend in the K–12 educational space for the last few years. The hands-on approach to STEM education is helping educators foster a deeper passion for science, technology, and mathematics.
Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics are a critical part of today’s educational landscape at every grade level. Pew Research notes that STEM employment has grown 79% since 1990, and according to Smithsonian, more than 2.4 million STEM jobs are currently unfilled. Finding ways to engage students and further embed STEAM into the K–12 educational curriculum is a top priority for educators.
