STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design and mathematics) is an educational approach which has lately become recognized worldwide and is applied in many countries. The program, which was previously known as STEM, has taken the name STEAM with the addition of the word “art” in the recent past.

This educational program concerns instructors and teachers as much as students, because some of the goals of the program are:

• to enrich STEAM education using different resources and methods;
• to increase interest in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and art / design on the basis of equal opportunity;
• to bring innovative ideas to applied education;
• and to motivate students with an accurate interdisciplinary education at an early age is to enable them to recognize their interests and show them how they can develop themselves in these areas.

But not only educators and teachers in the field of STEAM, but also teachers in different fields can benefit from the STEAM program and pass these benefits on to their students. The problem-solving skills and interdisciplinary working habits that are intended to be acquired with this program will also provide development in other areas. The chosen topics, which encourage students into STEM career fields, should be presented in a way that offers solutions to their real-life problems.

STEAM education is expected to be accessible to all, regardless of gender or technical skills, because one of STEAM’s goals is to involve girls and women in science, technology and mathematics, and eliminate segregation in a way that ensures gender equality in society.

”STEAM education for teachers” is an ideal training course for those who provide STEAM education or want to integrate the STEAM approach into their curriculum. In general, this course focuses on creative activities, innovative learning and teaching methods for students. Another issue discussed is what instructors and teachers can do to get their students into technical areas and motivate them in this direction.
