Abstract

This chapter discusses the shift from STEM to STEAM, which integrates the arts into technical education to stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and innovation. STEM education prioritized technical skills to assure global competitiveness in the 20th century. Interdisciplinary approaches became necessary as global issues like climate change and public health became increasingly complex. STEAM promotes creative problem-solving, empathy, and design thinking through the arts. This chapter discusses how STEAM improves STEM by combining technical expertise with creativity to educate students about real-world problems. It shows STEAM's global adoption and ability to stimulate innovation and solve social issues, preparing a workforce with technical and artistic skills for a fast-changing world.
