STEAM: Integrating the Arts in the STEM agenda
I’m often asked about STEAM and how to go avout implementing it in a school. It is unfortunate that in Malaysia we are more focused on the STEM agenda with folks thinking that integrating the arts into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics will water it down but it is not the case at all. S:Ā Ā Physical and SocialĀ SCIENCES T:Ā Ā Incorporation ofĀ TECHNOLOGY E:Ā Ā Principles ofĀ ENGINEERINGĀ and Design A:Ā Ā English LanguageĀ ARTS M:Ā Application ofĀ MATHEMATICS Just imagine studying the patterns and architecture in birds nests and applying those in constructing an original work of art. To me the best example of STEAM is to be found inĀ the work is Leonardo da Vinci.
