Nothing can be achieved by a single ability, but by the integration of all aspects. Just like the construction of high-tech electronic products, it needs not only science and technology, but also high-tech means to innovate product functions, good appearance and comprehensive talents in art, so the application of single skills can no longer support the development of future talents. Comprehensive talents in many aspects is needed in the future, so as to explore the concept of STEAM education.
3. The idea of 3.STEAM education is the earliest educational initiative put forward by the American government to strengthen the education of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in K 12. Its original body is the thought of STEM, that is, the initials of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is to encourage children to develop and improve in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, etc., to cultivate their comprehensive literacy and enhance their global competitiveness.

Under its call, not only robots and 3D printers entered the school; Obama also joined the national programming team and wrote his first code; In order to help children learn math and science, educational technology products emerge one after another; Moreover, the combination of these five disciplines, technology and engineering, art and mathematics, has broken the conventional disciplinary boundaries.
