STEAM is the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.  

STEAM focuses on the core subjects of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, often through a hands-on, problem-solving lens. 

In 2001, the National Science Foundation revamped its efforts to ensure students were gaining a first-rate science and mathematics education across the country. They saw a growing need to prepare students for more success in advanced careers such as healthcare and information technology.
