Description

The main difference between STEM and STEAM is in how they approach scientific concepts. While the focus of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) makes use of primarily hard scientific skills, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) makes use of both hard and soft skills to solve problems. Join Michelle Dragalin as she discusses why the "A" in STEAM is an essential part of the acronym! You will also walk away with a variety of STEAM activities to implement in your classroom that are adaptable for all grade levels and subject areas.
