Your robotics team suddenly isn't going to get to apply for a grant that's targeted for public murals or community theater, but graphic design programs are going to be able to compete against your robotics team for STEAM grants.

Here's some examples:

https://learningforward.org/learning...-stem-to-steam

And if you need more proof, here's House Resolution 51 (2014), which is explicitly about adding the Arts into Federal STEM funding.

This is real. This is not a trivial matter. This isn't just an acronym change.
It's like we should replace the A for Art with Architecture. And we don't mean just buildings, UX, and design are included too.


I'm on the RIBMEATS train too.
