Traditional education tends to favour a single area of study, producing students that possess only a narrow, specialised set of skills that leaves them poorly equipped to handle the challenges of the digital era. To address this problem, schools are increasingly implementing STEAM education, an interdisciplinary approach to learning that blends science, technology, engineering, the arts, and maths to produce students equipped with the relevant 21st century skills, such as creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. In this section, you can read about some of the most interesting trends, case studies, tools, and statistics that should give you a better idea of STEAM’s role in the education sector.
