Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!

“I think there’s an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us.” — Bob Ross

Art can be expressed through paintings, words, music, pictures, sculptures, plays, and many other mediums. Art is using creativity to express yourself and to share your interpretation of the world around you. Today's artist is Manami Ito, violinist and Paralympic athlete.

“Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.” — Henry Petroski

Engineering is the act of solving problems, from the large-scale problems, like how to construct a bridge, to the small-scale problems, like how to design a pacemaker. Engineering is about thinking creatively to overcome obstacles. Today's episode of Innovators highlights Dr. Mae Jemison, the astronaut.

“We are changing the world with technology.” — Bill Gates

Technology can be found in all aspects of life, from telephones and medicine, to transportations and marketing, Technology is about innovating the world w live in to make it better for all humankind. Today's episode of Innovators discusses Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer.

"Science is all around us!" - Camille Schrier, Miss America 2020

Science is a massive field of study, ranging from astronomy to zoology. Science is about interacting with the world around us, and asking critical questions about what we observe. Today's scientist is Jeanne Villepreux-Power, a marine biologist and inventor of the aquarium!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, and it has been used as a popular acronym in advocacy for an increase in STEAM education in schools. The intent is to increase creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and flexibility.

"Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" is an initiative to promote STEAM education and engagement to empower the next generation of STEAM leaders. We visit classrooms, camps, and college campuses to show that the Arts and the Sciences are not pitted against each other, they are infinitely and intrinsically related. We highlight influential women who have been innovators in STEAM fields (check out our book!), not only to show how what they've accomplished, but also to show the next generation what they are capable of.
