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.

Periodic Text Message Table

This Periodic Text Message Table is such a perfect find because at Laboratory5 Inc we love to 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.  This image is from a school pocket folder bought it at Target in August 2009 and we scanned it for our viewers to look at on this blog.

A Periodic Text Message Table is the perfect collide between, Science, Art and Technology. We love this!

UPDATE: We have had so so many requests for this images in a larger version that we’ve updated this post as a PDF – until the owner of the design comes along and asks us to remove it as it is not our design and we do not have the right to distribute this image. TThanks!
