This document discusses STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning. STEAM aims to foster innovation through divergent and convergent thinking by integrating different subjects like visual arts with math and science. Benefits of STEAM-based instruction include opportunities for collaboration, hands-on learning, and encouraging critical thinking. Programs discussed include Euro-STEAM, which creates STEAM educators and resources, and the Australian Curriculum Symposium on cross-curricular learning opportunities. STEAM learning is used throughout K-12, with many STEM college students deciding on their field in high school or earlier.
