STEAM is the integration of science, technology, engineering, art and math. STEAM has been a movement in education for over a decade. Its importance as an instructional strategy for developing 21st century learners has been recognized and endorsed by Career and Technology Education standards documents as well as the National Research Council’s A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Core Ideas, which is the guiding force behind the development of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The purpose of this course is to develop an appreciation for the importance of the integration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math in the 21st century elementary classroom and prepare elementary educators to create learning activities that allow their students to engage in real world problems and experiences through performance- and project-based, experiential learning activities that lead to higher level thinking. Students develop a STEAM unit for one or more of the grade levels and implement one lesson in an actual classroom.
