What is STEAM pedagogy and why should you use it? It's science and art rolled into one.

STEAM abbreviation comes from a combination of English words: science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics. It means an innovative approach to education and upbringing, based on independent, even tangible experience of science by children. By constructing everyday objects on their own, toddlers learn to think outside the box, look for their own solutions and, as a result, develop connections between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. STEAM toys refer to the foundations of the Maker movement, inviting children to understand the history, materials and mechanisms that are hidden in the objects around us. It is an adequate response to the ubiquitous consumerism and an excessive amount of stimuli from the virtual world, as well as a nod to children's curiosity.
