'STEM’ AND ‘STEAM’ QUOTES
Engineering or technology is all about using the power of science to make life better for people, to reduce cost, to improve comfort, to improve productivity, etc. ~ N.R. Narayana Murthy
I believe STEM is important because it brings out the student’s creativity. It allows them to apply what they have learned in their classes. STEM causes them to become thinkers, problem solvers and risk takers. It teaches them that even when the outcome is not what they expected, they still learned something. ~ Gilbert Rodriguez
In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. - National Science Foundation, US
Incorporating learning opportunities that foster the STEM approach is important because it teaches students how to use an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems and I believe teaches them the value of collaboration. It also provides an opportunity for productive struggle and inspires students to be curious about careers in science, math, engineering, and technology. ~ Crystal Moreno
STEAM Education is the ultimate vessel for learning. It combines real-world issues, problem-based learning, collaboration, technology, community partnerships, and an environment where failure is seen as opportunity for learning. The result is an education that prepares students with both the hard and soft skills necessary for success in the global 21st century workforce. ~Juli Salzman
STEM/STEAM is important because it exposes students to the arts and technology with math and science. This prepares students for the how the world is evolving today and showing the importance of these particular skills in everyday life. ~ Ashley Figures
