STEAM Inc.
STEAM Inc. brought together leading transdisciplinary institutions in Europe to develop a program of best practices in STEAM innovation and the higher education STEAM curriculum. Evolved from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), an interdisciplinary, applied approach to teaching the necessary skills for high-tech, high-value jobs, STEAM is an expansion that incorporates the benefits of “artistic” practice.
STEAM Inc. sought to address the increasing importance of STEAM in higher education by creating an evaluation framework to measure the effectiveness of STEAM processes in higher education institutions and their partner organizations; identifying intersections of current European STEAM approaches in higher education and developing a common definition of STEAM; and finally, developing methods for implementing STEAM thinking in higher education, policy, and engagement.
