STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics

Education POLICY ADVOCATE

The 411 Art Advisory's philanthropic mission is to educate constituents, creatives and lawmakers about the intersection of policy, technology and the arts through advocating for ‘STEM to STEAM’ education policy. As an IT corporate professional and creative at heart, the founder's goal is to demonstrate how art & design drive innovation in the technology sector, thus stimulating our economy and positioning us as global economic leaders. She is committed to working with our local, state, and federal elected officials to promote progressive policies that enhance the growth of the technology industry as well as Georgia’s overall economic development.

What is STEAM?

In this climate of economic uncertainty, America is once again turning to innovation as the way to ensure a prosperous future.

Yet innovation remains tightly coupled with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – the STEM subjects. Art + Design are poised to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century.

We need to add Art + Design to the equation — to transform STEM into STEAM.

STEM + Art = STEAM

STEAM is the movement widely adopted by institutions, corporations and individuals.

The objectives of the STEAM movement are to:

  • transform research policy to place Art + Design at the center of STEM

  • encourage integration of Art + Design in K–20 education

  • influence employers to hire artists and designers to drive innovation
