Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) have become an integral part of discovery, innovation and technological advances. As STEAM continues to gain momentum across the country, educators are tasked with finding ways to incorporate it into their instruction. How do you get started with this considerable, yet rewarding task? Whether you’re looking to fully adopt STEAM or for ways to supplement traditional teaching methods, a STEAM program is a perfect solution.
Career in STEM
JANUARY 17, 2023
STEM students often find themselves pigeonholed into traditional career paths such as software development, data analysis, or research and development. The world of STEM is vast and varied, with many offbeat career options that may not immediately come to mind. From music machine learning engineers to storm trackers, these careers may not be as well-known, but they offer a unique blend of creativity and technical skill that can be incredibly rewarding.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

When you ask kids what they’re afraid of, math is not a common answer. They’re thinking about spiders or monsters or that creepy feeling you can sometimes get when you’re alone. However, the fear of math is very real. According to Public School Review , the national average for math proficiency in public schools is 47 percent. This leaves plenty of room for improvement, including figuring out how to properly address the challenges of math that can lead to anxiety.

Timothy Witchet was just a kid in Houston when he saw a TV show that would, in a roundabout way, change his life. It was an episode of the sitcom “The King of Queens” wherein protagonist Doug Heffernan signs up to be a “big brother” to a boy named Jason. The portly Doug joins a 10K race to impress his less-than-enthusiastic protégé but—cue the laugh track—ends up in the fetal position off in the grass.

Most dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. It is likely that an asteroid hit Earth, destroying many types of creatures. Before this, dinosaurs lived for 165 million years on Earth. We know this because of scientists called paleontologists who study the past through fossil records. Fossil records gained popularity with Mary Anning’s work. Scientists have since learned more about dinosaurs, piecing together whole exhibits that show us what they looked like and how they may have behaved.
