Abstract

Steam education is a synergetic, interdisciplinary approach that conflate science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to foster creative, critical, and imaginative thinking and skills in students (Lamichhane, 2021). The core of STEAM is innovation and problem-solving. It places premiums on interdisciplinary skills, including inquiry, communication, collaboration, and self-management (Holbrook, 2020). In a world facing emerging challenges and complexities, STEAM education is instrumental in cultivating talents with abilities to integrate multiple-disciplinary knowledge, think critically and innovatively, solve problems voluntarily, and carry out effective collaboration.
