STEAM vs.
Now that you’ve started exploring STEM activities, you may have come across variations of this popular acronym – STEAM.
The ‘A’ in STEAM refers to the arts and educators from across the globe have recognized the important role of artistic expression in increasing a child’s chances of success in other STEM subjects.
“Art helps us see connections and brings a more coherent meaning to our world.” – Ernest Boyer, President, Carnegie Foundation
Art-based activities can pave the way for other STEM concepts, providing students with a more diverse view. Art also serves as a motivational tool and encourages creative thinking, which is how innovation is born.
STEAM is picking up steam in many schools and systems, but questions arise: How does including art advance STEM? How can art and STEM truly help each other?
Whether your child is interested in technology, civil engineering, science, or robotics, art will help spark something in them and help them bring their ideas and creations to life.
Why STEM Learning?
“Education is the foundation for your future, STEM education is the leveler for all to be successful in the future needs of humanity.” – Ian R. McAndrew, PhD
The Rise of STEM Education
The concept of STEM was first introduced in 2001 by scientific administrators at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
STEM refers to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, key disciplines that form the foundation of some of today’s leading careers.
You may think that these subjects would only be beneficial to high school students, but this isn’t the case – younger children and middle schoolers can benefit too. The earlier you can introduce your child to STEM disciplines, the sooner they can develop a fascination with everything these fields represent.
Benefits of STEAM/STEM Summer Camps
Our STEAM/STEM summer camps teach the basics of these fields and contribute to improvements in your kids’ grades when they’re back in school. There are many benefits of sending your child to STEAM camps at Snapology. Here are some of the skills that STEAM/STEM Learning can build:
Innovative and Critical Thinking
In a world that thrives on innovation, children need to know how to think both critically and innovatively to succeed in their future careers. STEM promotes these thinking abilities by encouraging problem-solving during projects that are all linked to the real world. Your child will start looking at and analyzing things in new ways. Whether computer science, engineering, or mathematics, STEM teaches children how to think outside the box.
Curiosity
Curiosity comes naturally to kids, but STEM will get them curious about more than just their everyday passions. STEM summer camps encourage children to ask questions about their environments, sparking their interest in new and exciting topics. A curious child is one who wants to keep learning and exploring, which is invaluable. Developing a love for learning now leads to big things later on.
Creativity
Your child’s imagination deserves a space to thrive. As much as STEM is focused on cultivating essential skills for the future, it also ensures your child is putting their imagination and the resources around them to good use. A child who isn’t scared to be creative is one who will be more willing share their ideas with the world without fear of judgment.
Collaboration and Teamwork
To succeed and excel, children need to know how to collaborate with others. Some of the world’s most impressive research, engineering structures, and scientific achievements were not achieved alone – teamwork was a big part of it. STEM summer camps require learners to work on complicated projects together, teaching them the value of teamwork. What’s more, they get the chance to build life-long friendships along the way.
Confidence
When your child can challenge themselves and showcase new skills, it automatically boosts their confidence. This confidence is something they can carry over into all other situations in their lives and well into the future. STEM summer camps will also teach them that it’s okay to make mistakes and that trying again is possible and can be fun. The more skills your child learns, the more their confidence will grow.
Preparation for the Future
Summer camps that incorporate STEM concepts are some of the best ways to prepare your child for a future in a lucrative career. The current average salary for STEM employees is around $95,420. When compared to non-STEM-related careers, this is about 58% more. Careers in STEM-related fields are also set to grow by 10.8% until 2031. A Snapology summer camp has the potential to steer your child’s future career in a positive direction in one of the most fun ways possible.
