The acronym STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and differs from STEAM through a purposeful integration of Arts.
STEM / STEAM is not a “what” but a “how”.
Both STEM and STEAM are defined by purposeful integration of science and mathematics, language arts, and social studies to offer potential solutions to a real-world problem. The Bibb County School District will accomplish this through problem/project-based learning (PBL), claim-evidence-reasoning (CER) and community partnerships.
