Education and 21st Century Learning.STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a big buzzword in education of late. It has, after all, been tied to ensuring our children's future in the 21st century marketplace and to the future of our society on the local, national and global levels. Both private and public sectors report that 21st-century workers require skills that many of today's graduates don't have. Students need more in-depth knowledge of math and science, plus the ability to integrate and apply that knowledge to solve the challenges facing our nation. Children who study a STEM curriculum also develop a variety of skills that are essential for success: critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication, collaboration, and entrepreneurship, to name a few.But many educational experts, including us at Challenge Island, believe that STEM is incomplete without the additional of an "A" for art. In fact many would say that STEAM is the new STEM.
