Re: STEM vs. STEAM
I am personally in the opinion that adding "Arts" to STEM makes it seem more like a "Let's include everyone ever" instead of a "Focus on these four, broad topics" that it has been. At our school, the Science, Math, and Tech departments are all near each other, but the Art department is on the whole other side of the school. Our school has murals made by the Art students on one side of the main hallway and on the other is posters for Science Olympiad and Robotics. The Art kids and the Tech kids do NOT cross paths. We are two totally seperate groups in our school.
Just my personal opinion, but it should be STEM, not STEAM.
