This practical book will help readers understand what STEAM is, how it differs from STEM, and how it can be used to engage students in K-8 classrooms.

Readers will find easy-to-understand examples of what STEAM education looks like in a variety of classrooms and will hear from teachers, instructional coaches, principals, and administrators about what it takes to ensure that STEAM is a schoolwide success. Each chapter of this popular text incorporates elements of connected learning-a type of learning that draws on students' interests that teachers can capitalize on when using STEAM to address real-world problems.

This updated and expanded edition is essential reading for teachers who want to keep pace with fast-moving technological advancements and honor their students' interests and cultures. The authors provide updated problem-solving scenarios to assist with STEAM curriculum design; additional information on AI-powered tools, with guidance for effective implementation; attention to current topics in science such as climate change, cybersecurity, and the ethical implications of AI; and lesson plans and activities to enhance the guide's practical application in today's classrooms.
