STEAM education is an approach to learning that encompasses the use of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math, to guide critical thinking and problem solving (Schweingruber, Pearson, & Honey, 2014). This teaching method is a kind of culturally responsive pedagogy because most chidlren today are heavily impacted and influenced by technology. Being able to identify or relate to the subject matter can contribute to increased student success within a classroom setting (Pittman & Gaines, 2015). This study will demonstrate that introducing an interactive STEAM curriculum will increase students' attitudes toward education and help to develop their marketable technological skills. These methods enhance student's interest in learning which will shape the rest of the student's academic career. The modern method, its ideals, and relatable concepts along with hands-on exposure into the classroom will increase student engagement and academic performance. Choosing this teaching style provides students with the opportunity to critically analyze problems and put them into action using technological or scientific methods.
