The acronym STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, while STEAM also includes the Arts, recognizing the importance of creativity and artistic expression in a well-rounded curriculum. The goal is to highlight the importance of these disciplines in preparing students for the workforce and for solving complex problems. After studies showed that students in the United States were underperforming compared to other countries, educators and policymakers began implementing improvements in STEM/STEAM education.
