WHY STEAM?
USING STEAM TO INSPIRATE DEEPER LEARNING • NSTA STEM FORUM & EXPO 2015
“STEAM is a popular movement that was founded by Georgette Yakman in 2007 to promote and integrate design and art in STEM fields. She defined the movement as ‘Science and Technology, interpreted through Engineering and the Arts, all based in elements of Mathematics.’”
WHY STEAM?
USING STEAM TO INSPIRATE DEEPER LEARNING • NSTA STEM FORUM & EXPO 2015
I love how STEAM inspires students to integrate their content knowledge in order to make something special and unique. I also appreciate how an effectively implemented STEAM program prepares our students for the ever-changing real world. - Dan Gross, Sixth Grade Teacher
STEAM ensures that we teach the whole child. Because we are a STEAM school, students receive instruction in the arts, which has been cut from
many schools’ curricula across the state. The arts are critical to developing our students' creativity and their abilities to express
themselves. - Amy Felder, Art Teacher
One of the reasons I like STEAM is because it adds the 'art' element to STEM. This allows us to be a little more creative when we can add
the artistic element to learning. - Zoe, Sixth Grader
CONTENT INTEGRATION WITH STEAM
USING STEAM TO INSPIRATE DEEPER LEARNING • NSTA STEM FORUM & EXPO 2015
“As STEAM focuses on integration of content, pairing STEAM with PBL can hit not only STEAM content, but also content outside of the core STEAM subjects. English can be integrated, as well as foreign languages and social studies. It's all about designing effective PBL that targets these content areas... these two approaches can capitalize on each other's strengths and fill each other's potential gaps.”
From Andrew Miller’s PBL and STEAM Education: A Natural Fit
WHAT IS PROJECT BASED LEARNING?
USING STEAM TO INSPIRATE DEEPER LEARNING • NSTA STEM FORUM & EXPO 2015
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge.

WHY PBL?
USING STEAM TO INSPIRATE DEEPER LEARNING • NSTA STEM FORUM & EXPO 2015
As a kid PBL is the perfect way to learn; working in groups, finding a very deep understanding, and being creative in the way to present our ideas. - Soren, Sixth Grade Student
PBL helps students take ownership of their learning. They get so excited when they hear we are starting a new PBL.... Each group came up with
such unique ideas and the dynamics of each group were so clearly different in this activity. I don't think that this would have happened if we
had just used traditional methods of teaching. And I know student connections to learning would not have been as prevalent.
- Neda Chlala, Sixth Grade Science Teacher
