STEAM, not just STEM Education Infographic
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are the center of attention in most US public schools today. The focus on STEM fields was initiated to increase global competitiveness and the project does have its merits. However, it has left the arts languishing far off in the periphery. This is quite unfortunate, as art education is known to improve academic performance.

The Dutch artist and physicist, Theo Jansen, creates amazing kinetic sculptures called Strandbeest. He truly marries Art & Design with STEM!
Compilation from Strandbeest on Vimeo. Osmo is a wonderful new game that works with iPads. It fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to the endless possibilities of physical play. It's just plain cool! And for a limited time, Osmo will gift one to your child's classroom with Buy One, Gift One! Check out the video below that features their newest app, Masterpiece! The other video features their first 3 apps, Words, Tangram, and Newton. |
