What is STEAM Education?

STE[A]M education is "an interdisciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons as student apply science, technology, engineering, [art,] and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise, enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ability to [succeed] in the new economy" (Tsupros, Kohler & Hallinen, 2009).
