Edutopia – By Liz MacLauchlan and Priscilla Kane Hellweg
As a physics and engineering teacher, I (Liz) found the concept of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math)—specifically, including the arts in my teaching—to be challenging. I saw it as one more thing to think about when I was already struggling to cover required content. Factoring in the reality that both children and adults often categorize themselves as “artistic” or “scientific” made arts integration feel out of reach.
