  According to the Department of Labor, more than 65 percent of today’s students will grow up to take on jobs that do not exist yet. Educators have been tasked with teaching these students the skills they might need to be competitive in this uncertain future — including science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), which highlights key 21st century skills such as problem solving, creativity, curiosity, and failure.

  If you are an educator or administrator looking to bring STEAM into your classroom or school district, there’s a good chance that you are wondering where to start, how to implement the program, and how to scale. Download littleBits’ whitepaper today for answers to these questions, as well as real-world examples and implementation strategies.
