Re: STEM vs. STEAM

As many people have said, I also believe the important part is how we define "art". I believe the art in STEAM is not art lie painting, but instead art like architecture and design. Just imagine if only people from STEM fields built a building. It would be very functional, but man would it look awful. Or imagine any of apples products without design, it would be an android (jk not trying to start another debate). Architecture and design are just as important as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

Ther for, I personally support STEAM over STEM.
