 Limitations of Adding Arts

◉ The proponents for STEM over STEAM generally take

one of a few basic views:
 The addition of art takes something away from the
other subjects.
 Art should stand alone and be allowed to exist
independently.
 It forgets the original goal of encouraging students to
take on STEM career paths to solve the shortage of
workforce in STEM industries.
 The problem with these points of view is that they see
the shift to STEAM as a radical change in philosophy.

 As an academic activist, my viewpoint on, STEAM is
worth taking the time to understand the importance of the
arts in providing students with a rounded education. In
addition, the arts can help to provide individuals with a
greater appreciation for culture.

STEAM encourages collaboration to understand a STEM concept. By

integrating concepts and practices of the arts, STEAM uses tools such

science, math and technology.

 Conclusion and Remarks on TOPIC

The "A" in STEAM -Adding in the Arts

The addition of art might just be the special ingredient

Adding Arts reminds us not to think about what can be done, but what might be possible.
STEAM gives students a license to create just for the fun of it, for the beauty of it, for the love of
creating.
STEAM is all about letting the inspiration run through your veins, down to your hands and spill out
onto the canvas.
Adding Arts in canvas might be a pile of timber, a stack of popsicle sticks, or a computer screen.

Putting my remarks with the example of an IPHONE.
