3. S.T.E.A.M. OUTCOMES
• In this climate of economic
uncertainty, America is once
again turning to innovation as the
way to ensure a prosperous
future.
• Yet innovation remains tightly
coupled with Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math – the STEM
subjects. Art + Design are poised
to transform our economy in the
21st century just as science and
technology did in the last century.
• We need to add Art + Design to
the equation — to transform
STEM into STEAM.
• STEAM is a movement championed
by Rhode Island School of Design
(RISD) and widely adopted by
institutions, corporations and
individuals.
• The objectives of the STEAM
movement are to:
• transform research policy to place
Art + Design at the center of STEM
• encourage integration of Art +
Design in K–20 education
• influence employers to hire artists
and designers to drive innovation

resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress,
and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” —
Edward de Bono
Okay, so we can use it to print original 3D
designs…
