The significance of STEAM and the occupational doors it opens.
The growth of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths) education has rapidly materialized as a result of emerging industries; new technologies (robotics), biotechnology and artificial intelligence. These new fields have brought to light, the need for advanced skills sets – ones that cannot be taught or learnt via outdated educational methods and systems.
STEAM was introduced to curtail these limitations by providing an alternative approach to education, that integrates Science, technology, Arts & Maths in a collaborative and project-based curriculum. Further, it’s focused on cultivating skills required for future workplaces whilst also considering roles that don’t even exist yet.
