What is STEAM? STEAM learning is an approach to education that emphasizes the role of arts and design in the learning process for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Many educators believe that the addition of the arts to traditional STEM can bring the important skills of creativity, ingenuity, and innovation into the learning experience.
STEAM in the Art Gallery is brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners
