Objectives
bull Discuss implementation of STEAM based learning in the classroom
bull Understand effective guidelines of STEAM based learning
bull Understand how to create a culture of inquiry in your classroom by effective methods that promote inquiry
What is STEAM
STEAM is an acronym for Science Technology Engineering
the Arts and Mathematics
STEAM is not a program but a philosophy
bull ldquoSTEM develops a set of thinking reasoning teamwork investigative and creative skills that students can use in all areas of their lives STEM isnrsquot a standalone classmdashitrsquos a way to intentionally incorporate different subjects across an existing curriculumrdquo

The Challenge
bull Goal Build a paper structure capable of supporting one teammate (on a book) 2rdquo above the floor
bull Materials 3 pieces cardstock 24rdquo masking tape
bull Tools scissors ruler
bull Deadline 8 minuets
STEM Jobs
bull STEM employment includes science technology engineering and mathematics jobs
bull STEM-related employment includes health architecture and some sales occupations
Salaries for STEM Jobs
bull Every STEM occupation but food scientists saw their bank accounts swell from 2000 to 2014 Petroleum engineers earned the most annually with a yearly salary of almost $150000 by 2014 followed by information systems managers and physicists

STEM Employment Index
bull The STEM Employment Index shows the change in the number of STEM jobs relative to all jobs in the US Overall STEM increased 20 percent since 2000 the largest increase of all the sub-indices
bull Computer jobs hold the top seven positions for highest number of employees with applications software engineers and computer support specialists topping the list

The Problem
bull ldquoThere is growing concern that the United States is not preparing a sufficient number of students teachers and practitioners in the areas of science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) A large majority of secondary school students fail to reach proficiency in math and sciencerdquo
Jeffrey J Kuenzi Congressional Research Service
The Gender Gap
bull High school girls are much less interested in pursuing engineering and technology than their male peers In 2014 only 3 percent of high school females reported an interest in engineering compared to 31 percent of males In the same year just 2 percent of girls reported an interest in technology while 15 percent of boys expressed an interest in the field

The gender gap is already well-formed by high school
bull On Advanced Placement (AP) tests male students scored higher than females in all STEM subjects on the SATs males of all demographics scored at least 30 points higher on the math section than females

Effective Steps for STEAM Lessons
bull 1 Prepare the STEM lesson around a topic you will be teaching
bull 2 Connect that topic to a real world problem
bull 3 Clearly define the STEM challenge students will tackle
bull 4 Decide what success looks like
5 Use the engineering design process for planning
bull 6 Help students identify the challenge
bull 7 Involve students (in teams) in researching the content for the challenge
bull 8 Encourage teams to develop their own ideas about how to solve the problem
Take-away
bull Provide lots of guidance but few instructions
bull Mistakes and design failures are good methods of learning
bull The STEAM process is not linear ndash the sequence of events may change
bull Students work in teams to solve STEAM challenges
bull Work with colleagues if possible to write and implement STEAM lessons

The Problem
bull ldquoThere is growing concern that the United States is not preparing a sufficient number of students teachers and practitioners in the areas of science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) A large majority of secondary school students fail to reach proficiency in math and sciencerdquo
Jeffrey J Kuenzi Congressional Research Service
The Gender Gap
bull High school girls are much less interested in pursuing engineering and technology than their male peers In 2014 only 3 percent of high school females reported an interest in engineering compared to 31 percent of males In the same year just 2 percent of girls reported an interest in technology while 15 percent of boys expressed an interest in the field

Science Olympiad
The gender gap is already well-formed by high school
bull On Advanced Placement (AP) tests male students scored higher than females in all STEM subjects on the SATs males of all demographics scored at least 30 points higher on the math section than females

bull 6 Help students identify the challenge
bull 7 Involve students (in teams) in researching the content for the challenge
bull 8 Encourage teams to develop their own ideas about how to solve the problem
