In STEAM Education, I see it as a way for people to integrate all the factors of STEAM into a project. In the photo, although it focuses more into engineering, also takes into factor art (since a student has to draw out and plan what the outcome will be). It also takes into factor mathematics as it requires measuring. This picture shows more into what STEAM integrates into a school environment.
