STEM and STEAM Education

Articles, insights and analysis on STEM and STEAM Education from EdCircuit.

Group of four students collaborating at a table with laptops, coding together in a classroom; a large screen in the background displays code and the words 'BUILD CODE CREATE THE FUTURE'.

STEM education brings together science, technology, engineering and mathematics; STEAM adds the arts. Both aim to teach students to solve real problems the way scientists, engineers and designers do, through hands-on projects, experiments and building, and both are closely tied to the careers employers struggle to fill.

edCircuit's coverage is written for STEM teachers, coordinators and school leaders. It covers robotics clubs and other ways to bring engineering into school, classroom activities and films that spark interest, the pioneers who shaped the fields and the Scully effect on girls' interest in science, STEM for students with additional needs, and STEM as workforce readiness. Because hands-on learning carries real hazards, lab safety has its own section, Science and Lab Safety.
