It allows students to connect their learning in these critical areas together with arts practices, elements, design principles and standards to provide the whole pallet of learning at their disposal. STEAM removes limitation and replaces them with wonder, critique, inquiry and innovation.

There is a few approach that we can use in STEAM education such as mobile learning which is suitable for short term learning (1 year or less). The other one was Gamification. The time frame for Gamification is 2 - 3 years only.
