MAKING S.T.E.M. MORE MEANINGFUL THROUGH S.T.E.A.M.
In the late 20th century through the 21st century, S.T.E.M. fields have played a major role in changing the domestic and global interactions of humans and societies with the use of computers, the internet, smart technology (phones, GPS, etc.) and many other wireless devices and activities. However, more recently the arts have been added to the traditional interdisciplinary collaborations of S.T.E.M. because the skill sets needed for the "Conceptual Age"of the 21st century require a workforce with a new level of critical/independent thinking, ingenuity, and creativity to solve more complex problems. This involves the creative genius cultivated more often in right brain thinking and activity.
This page explores how culture and creativity are now being seen as critical contributions to the development of these needed skill sets to transform American S.T.E.M. - 2- S.T.E.A.M.!

Making STEM Meaning for Females
Women remain generally underrepresented in STEM fields not because of aptitude but because of various barriers that include attitudes about their ability and a lack of stimulating their interest. See what's new in growing efforts to change this dynamic.
* Females respond to storytelling in STEM...see why - -
* Making learning relevant to spark student interest...see how
* Why women w/dual skills choose non-STEM fields..see why
* Humanities and STEM collaborations through narratives
