Re: STEM vs. STEAM
Compartmentalizing is dumb. Why not go back to SET? Why not stick with STEM? or go to STEAM? SHTEAM as mentioned above? Economics is important, too, guys! SHTEEAM!
I see no line and therefore refuse the acronym. Making STEM some magic box makes blurring the lines and talking between disciplines harder than it really is. (Oh lord, this sounds like one of those "there are infinite genders" rants)
Every time I say "STEM" a little bit of me dies inside. I inspire people to be engineers, not scientists, not "technologists", rarely mathematicians, and never artists**. I teach people how to apply what they know to design and fix things.
Say what you mean, not buzzwords.
(**That isn't to say these are bad things but simply that I just... I don't exude those things)
