Support STEAM
Support the Congressional STEAM Caucus and recognize the potential for the arts to infuse creativity and innovation into the core curriculum. Ingenuity stems from inspired exploration; the arts provide the tools to generate and awaken STEAM.
Why is this important?
This petition hopes to gain support and momentum for a STEAM-based learning approach into the core curriculum by including the "A" for "arts" into the present standard of STEM. As an artist educator, I witness innovation that grows from creative thinking and making processes, incorporating all aspects of science, math, and technology through authentic inspired problem solving methods. The Congressional STEAM Caucus is a giant step toward creating meaningful educational practice that leads to inspired and innovative minds.
