    STEAM Science, Technology,


    Engineering, Arts and
    Mathematics
    “STEAM is a popular movement
    that was founded by Georgette
    Yakman in 2007 to promote and
    integrate design and art in STEM
    fields. She defined the movement
    as ‘Science and Technology,
    interpreted through Engineering
    and the Arts, all based in elements
    of Mathematics.’”
    “As STEAM focuses on integration of content, pairing
    STEAM with PBL can hit not only STEAM content, but also
    content outside of the core STEAM subjects. English can
    be integrated, as well as foreign languages and social
    studies. It's all about designing effective PBL that targets
    these content areas... these two approaches can capitalize
    on each other's strengths and fill each other's potential
    gaps.”

    From Andrew Miller’s PBL and STEAM Education:


    A Natural Fit
    “Project Based Learning is a teaching
    method in which students gain knowledge
    and skills by working for an extended period
    of time to investigate and respond to a
    complex question, problem, or challenge.”
    Oscar’s Ocean
