    As Art Teacher what happened to STEAM. The arts are just as important to boys and girls and society as a whole. They have been and obviously continue to be an after thought or not at all

    Thanks, Leyla, for your question. The focus of this project, which is a collaboration with NASA, is Earth and space science. We use a number of engagement methods, including creative activities, to engage learners in this content, but it is  not a STEAM project per se.
