What does STEAM stand for?
Five subjects. So many possibilities.
S.T.E.A.M. adds the arts to S.T.E.M., bringing science, technology, engineering, art, and math together. Here’s what each part means.
S
Science
Learn through observation and measurement. Physical sciences explore medicines and stars; social sciences examine people’s responses to cultural influences.
T
Technology
Put scientific knowledge to work by creating a product or service that people can use.
E
Engineering
Design and construct things. Think bridges, airplanes, mobile phones, and tall buildings.
A
Arts
Communicate through writing, speaking, and sound. Artistic expression is woven into everyday life.
M
Math
Go beyond counting and numbers. Use logic to make sense of shapes and movement.
Curriculum & educator development
Dreamers are S.T.E.A.M.ers.

Excellent resource for children to learn about career opportunities in S.T.E.A.M.
This is a wonderful book, which is written in a way that will attract and engage young minds to learn more about the world of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. The author makes reading and understanding the contents of the book very easy. The pictures are colorful with excellent art work that depicts each topic in S.T.E.A.M. The large print is ideal for primary school age children to read. I purchased a copy of this book for my niece and will purchase additional copies for my organization's partner school.
