STEM classes provide students with a more in depth course on different topics that they may be more interested in such as engineering. STEM courses also introduce students to different topics that may not be brought up in a regular classroom setting. ]]> 2019-09-05 15:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyvdix/51onn8o2sl8p/wish/380473535 brittneyvdix https://padlet.com/brittneyvdix/51onn8o2sl8p/wish/380475430 A big debate going on is over whether or not to change the STEM acronym to STEAM to include the arts into the category of STEM courses. I believe this debate is very critical because some students know that they want to pursue a career In the arts. Adding the arts to a STEM learning system would allow students who are certain that they want to have a profession in the arts to focus more on their future occupation instead of classes that they may not benefit from. ]]> 2019-09-05 15:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneyvdix/51onn8o2sl8p/wish/380475430
