STEAM was a response to the NSF definition of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and STEM promotion in education. Adding the Arts to STEM was an initiative to ensure that critical skills for the knowledge era and emerging global issues were doubly strengthened through aesthetic and socio-emotional dimensions of thought and human interaction. This facilitated conversation will begin with a short presentation of the origins and evolution of STEAM and key principles of arts integration. We will engage in an exploration of arts integration work at the Claremont Colleges – potential for arts integration, especially collaborative work, who’s doing it, and how to get started in developing STEAM courses and research.
