What is science and technology education?
Science and technology education, namely STEAM education, is an educational method integrating science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics knowledge.

China's science and technology education is to build STEAM with China characteristics.

(Science, technology, engineering, mathematics, STEM education is the education of science, technology, engineering and mathematics) curriculum and evaluation system, so as to lead the curriculum reform in China, enrich and innovate the talent training mode, and strive to explore the innovative road of school education mode in China.

Liu Limin, president of China Education International Exchange Association and former vice minister of the Ministry of Education, believes that STEAM education is not only a certain period of education, but also a systematic education. Nor is it a simple superposition of knowledge of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, but it integrates these five disciplines into an educational paradigm, turns fragmentary knowledge into an interconnected and unified whole, and helps students establish a reasonable knowledge system and ability structure. It is an action-oriented learning, which tends to overlap ability and knowledge.
