STEAM education is all about connecting classroom activities and experiences to real-life opportunities.
Instead of treating science, technology, engineering, Art and mathematics as separate subjects, it’s a cross-disciplinary approach that is all about solving problems.
For instance, the problem might be that you want to create more habitats for bugs and insects on your school grounds. Pupils will then have to investigate where minibeasts like to live, and come up with a suitable solution.
It might seem strange to start preparing very young pupils for their future careers, but making real-world links is really important.
A STEAM primary education introduces children to the idea that mistakes are normal and, in fact, can be seen as a positive because they help you to move on to something greater.
