STEAM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that removes the traditional barriers separating the five disciplines of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, integrating them into real-world, rigorous and relevant learning experiences for students.

STEAM means the integration of Science: The study of the natural world Technology: Any product made by humans to meet a want or need Engineering: The design process used to solve problems Art: Playful, inventive, artistic and innovative thinking and creating Math: The language of numbers, shapes and quantities

STEAM education focuses on real-world issues and challenges, guided by the engineering design process. There are five critical steps in the STEAM design process – REsearch, Design, Build, Test and Improve.
