ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice takes a deeper look at the evolution of STEM to STEAM and why it’s time to go even further. While the addition of the arts was a critical step in integrating creativity into education, the use of acronyms like STEAM can sometimes limit our thinking by treating subjects as separate silos. Instead, we advocate for focusing on *creativity* and *innovation*—two concepts that transcend traditional subject boundaries and better reflect the skills students need to thrive in a complex, interconnected world.Join us as we explore how creativity fuels scientific discovery, how innovation bridges disciplines, and why these two mindsets are more essential than ever for preparing students for the future. We’ll discuss how rethinking our language opens up opportunities for students to collaborate, experiment, and break free from the constraints of traditional academic categories. Whether you're an educator, parent, or simply passionate about the future of learning, this episode will inspire you to rethink how we frame integrated education and encourage every student to tap into their creative potential.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
