STEAM VS STEM​

At TinkRworks, we proudly advocate for the research behind the A in STEAM. Studies show how the arts positively impact student achievement and teacher efficacy when integrated into a STEM practice. STEAM not only takes STEM to the next level, it allows students to connect learning in science, technology, engineering, and math with critical design principles and standards. These provide a valuable framework and vocabulary for thinking about solving problems creatively. They remove barriers and replace them with curiosity, inquiry, and innovation.
