I love this quote from the following article: "We need students who are motivated and competent in bringing forth solutions to tomorrow's problems. When push comes to shove, it’s not STEM vs. STEAM—it’s about making every student a fully-literate 21st-century citizen,"

I wonder why see the value in creating Thinkers has been overlooked in Education.

I know that birth to age five is an especially sensitive period for language acquisition- and the structure of STEM subjects use the same parts of the brain that language development does; I.e. learning STEM subjects in many ways is like learning a new language and most easily accomplished by the genius, super-absorbent brain of a young child. I feel it is our job as early childhood educators to expose children to the wonder and delight of Science and Mathematics, which is everywhere in our world- we just need to talk about it!! ...However, I believe our civilization is not only grown though advances and innovations in science and technology but in the creativity and self-expression permitted by the Arts.

There is a growing demand for employees in jobs that involve STEAM, so it is important that we educate our growing children in these subjects.  STEAM programs should be taught in all early childhood programs so they start to learn about it early on and develop an interest for these subjects.

STEAM Is very important in a child's early years of development. It helps them from there motor skills to their cognitive development. Introducing them to STEAM can have a huge influence on their performance and their interest in the subjects as they get older, but it is always important that teachers are careful in the way they introduce STEAM to children. I believe that has a huge impact on them as they grow.

Students need to be educated in STEAM, because of the demand in job fields such as engineering. We don't want students to be intimidated for what the future holds. Children are curious about the world around them and we should show them what it has to off them. I think STEAM is an extremely important concept in schools and should be taken seriously.

I wonder  if putting an emphasis on STEAM in Early Childhood Education will really close the gap between how many students later in life, find subjects like math and science less intimidating and choose them as their favorite subjects.  Will the number of  engineering and architect majors rise in the next few years?

STEAM in Early Childhood is very important as it supports the "little scientists, architects, mathematicians, engineers, etc." that children are already exploring inside themselves. As instructors, it is our job to make STEAM activities exciting, interesting, and challenging (yet still developmentally appropriate)  in order to spark ideas and questions in children that can be further explored.

I know STEAM is mostly taught to young children through play activities, such as games and crafts. I remember making a cookie earth in kindergarten in order to learn about the layers of the earth's crust. It was a great activity because while it was fun and engaging, it was educational, and was presented in a way that made it easy to understand.
