What is STEAM

It started with STEM . . . A great place to begin growth.

STEM is an acronym for SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS. The term is used as an education policy and a curriculum option for educators and policy makers. 

We added STEAM . . . which we use to propel the other other areas of education.

STEAM is an acronym for SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART AND MATHEMATICS. The initiative began so that the arts and design would be included in STEM education.

The founder of this initiative is Georgette Yakman. The idea of adding the arts to the STEM acronym, allows for a formal way to link the subjects together and correspond them to the global socioeconomic world. Yakman’s defining sentence is: “Science and Technology, interpreted through Engineering and the Arts, all based in elements of Mathematics”

At Laboratory5 Inc. We bring together all elements of STEAM and tie them up into a package to promote the work each individual is doing in their fields to celebrate this work. We produce experiences so that those unfamiliar with the glorious, quirky, nerdy, geeky qualities of all areas of STEAM can be explored as an adventure to explain these fields.

On Paul Auster

“Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it,

for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author’s words reverberating in your head.”

—  Paul Auster
Paul Auster is one of my favorite authors. I do love many of his books and his curious way of writing but I also love that some of his books were flops. I feel like that proves he is writing from a place that is real. Not all of our ideas are hits but as long as we are keeping it real we are real.
