Recently, the arts has been integrated into STEM education, creating, a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) curriculum, which SAM Labs plans to creatively evolve by introducing robotics and computer sciences into classrooms.
Through a variety of software, tools and initiates, SAM Labs has created a STEM kit, which can be utilized in biology and art classrooms alike. The kit allows coding to be a creative and entertaining process, encouraging kids to call upon both imaginative and tactile skills. The kit, which can be used in a multi-disciplinary manner, enables students to create "an internet of things they didn't know were possible," potentially igniting the entrepreneur, designer, or scientist in the user.
