STEM focuses on real-world learning through investigations, problem-solving, and evidence-based explanations. |
| Both address multiple content areas, including literacy and social sciences. |
STEAM has a process-driven focus and requires the use of soft skills in addition to academic knowledge. |

Instead, it’s about giving kids the freedom to think creatively, read and write, experiment, and construct things on their own. When given the chance to express their creativity, they can use their knowledge and skills to bring their imagination and original ideas to life.
