Abstract

This quarter’s article focuses on recent policies, initiatives, and partnerships to develop “STEM to STEAM” movements, in which the initial focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) moves toward the inclusion of the Arts as part of the educational core that now becomes STEAM. In particular, comparisons are made between implementation of such efforts in the states of Rhode Island and Oregon. Ann Galligan, Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Cultural and Arts Policy Research Institute at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, examines ways in which STEAM is now building on the momentum of the successful STEM initiative.
