November 8th is national STEAM day!
STEAM Day is an opportunity to focus on helping kids advance in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Celebrate STEAM any day of the year by learning about careers that fall under each letter.
Spark your thinking!
1. Set up your STEAM mini spark recording page: #40: STEAM Career Collection
2. Get your STEAM carrer collection page. You can print a copy of this recording page or make a digital copy
3. Go to this website and read about the different careers. Write each title in the chart under the correct letter.
4. On your sheet, put a start next to any that sound interesting.
5. After choosing careers to summarize, read the next three paragraphs at the website, answer these questions on your recording page.
- Why have the arts been underemphasized in favor of an education focused on math and science?
- How can a STEAM education translate to career success?
- What do we lose as a society when we don’t acknowledge the importance of arts in education?
6. OPTIONAL. Do some more research to find other jobs not listed. Not sure what category the careers that you find fall under? That happens because all of the parts of STEAM are connected and work together! You choose where you put the other careers you find.
7. Share your STEAM mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.
