An important aspect of STREAM education is having students understand the connection between the content knowledge (math, ELA, social studies, and science) that they are gaining in their classrooms and real-world problems. STREAM also promotes the use of “soft” skills such as collaboration, communication, problem-solving, teamwork, time management, and critical thinking. Through the use of the EDP (Engineering Design Process), students learn the steps involved in solving problems and learn that failure is a HUGE part of learning.
Amy Scott, STREAM Lab Teacher Beutel Elementary School, Brazosport ISD – http://www.brazosportisd.net
I love introducing the Engineering Design Process in the STREAM Lab. Some of the most amazing learning moments happen in students’ failures. Students develop grit to keep trying and understand that learning truly involves making mistakes. It is amazing to watch students change their mindset from “I can’t” to “How can I improve this so it works.”
