STEM is an educational project led by American government, which evolved from STEM. These five letters stand for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics respectively. In short, STEAM education is a comprehensive education that integrates science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. But strictly speaking, it is only an interdisciplinary learning method, which mainly connects students with scientific, technical, engineering, artistic and mathematical knowledge background with schools, communities, jobs and global enterprises through real-life situational courses to cultivate their competitiveness.

The purpose of STEAM education is to break the boundaries between disciplines, emphasize interdisciplinary, solve practical problems through the comprehensive application of discipline literacy, and cultivate comprehensive talents.

Lego Education, a subsidiary of Lego Group, was founded in Denmark, 1980. Mainly for kindergartens, primary and secondary schools to provide a variety of educational projects that can stimulate imagination, cultivate creativity and create a happy learning atmosphere. These learning projects are designed according to the different age characteristics of children aged 3- 16, involving science, technology, mathematics, design, sociology and so on.

The purpose of Lego education is to enable students to acquire the core competence of 2 1 century such as innovation, cooperation, practical ability, scientific application and problem-solving ability through various targeted education plans, so as to meet the challenges of 2 1 century and pursue their own success.

It can be seen that both STEAM education and LEGO education include science, technology, mathematics and other disciplines, and their ultimate goals and educational methods have many similarities. So STEAM education includes Lego.
