What are STEAM Activities?

STEAM: Science Technology Engineering Arts Maths

STEAM activities explore the various fields of science with a creative twist. Most Creators and Thinkers sessions will combine two or more of these subjects to create an engaging activity using creative and critical thinking to solve problems. While some sessions may be more arts based, others will have more of a science focus.
