We can all agree, therefore, on the inclusion of “S” for sports, to create S-STEAM.


What a load of performative, inclusive crap.


What exactly is wrong with being more inclusive?
They usually start by excluding groups they don't like or want.

In my experience Elementary and some middle schools are very bad at pulling off science and engineering events. Art events are much easier, so they started adding art activities to STEM programs. In my opinion it weakens true STEM initiatives but keeps kids happy and allows more students to participate.

Adding arts to STEM makes perfect sense. It is not weird.

It makes sense because there is so much overlap between arts like music, and math.

No, it's not. Most designers of anything these days have to have some good CAD skills. Also still have to be able to sketch and do technical drawing. And then there's graphic design and endless other things that intertwine with STEM, STEAM, SSTEAM, and so on and so forth forever and even and then we realize that/s why acronyms suck. You'll always be missing something.


I think technical drawing and CAD is included within the T of STEM.

No sorry. You cannot go back to calling it STEM.


Most of us never stopped.

Okay, trolling aside, sports and art are important but there's no reason to lump them with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The acronym isn't for important subjects, it's for analytical, quantitative subjects which the economy has a great need for and therefore on average lead to higher paying careers.


+1. I thought it was weird when they added the A

At least you acknowledged your blatant trolling.

Furthermore, it’s been repeatedly explained why there’s an organic connection here, which ought to be recognized.


Sorry PP but this whole thread reads like trolling because sport has nothing to do with math.
