“…The center regularly incorporates work from current research projects into cutting edge workshops and programs for K-12 students, allowing them to explore nontraditional STEAM areas (music technology, video game design, etc.). Since 2007, the Summer Music Technology (SMT) program has introduced rising high school sophomores and juniors in the Philadelphia region to STEAM activities (21). Admitted students participate at no charge, and preferential admission is given to students in the School District of Philadelphia and city residents.…”

A potential path for enabling greater creativity and collaboration is through increased arts and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) integration in education and research. This approach has been a growing discussion in US national forums and is the foundation of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics plus arts and design (STEAM) education movement. Developing authentic artistic integrations with STEM fields (or vice versa) is challenging, particularly in higher education, where traditional disciplinary structures and incentives can impede the creation of integrated programs. Measuring and assessing the outcomes of such integration efforts can be even more challenging, since traditional metrics do not necessarily capture new opportunities created for students and faculty, and the greatest impact may occur over a long period (a career). At Drexel University, we created the Expressive & Creative Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) Center as a standalone institute to pursue and enable such transdisciplinary arts–STEM collaborations, particularly with external arts and education partners. In this perspectives paper, we highlight a range of projects and outcomes resulting from such external collaborations, including graduate research with professional artists, undergraduate student work experiences, and STEAM-based education programs for kindergarten through 12th-grade (K-12) students. While each project has its own specific objectives and outcomes, we believe that they collectively demonstrate this integrated transdisciplinary approach to be impactful and potentially transformative for all levels of learning.

“…Of particular note were Arduino, LOGO, Scratch, Agentcubes online, Earsketch and Kitsi blocks. For example, Arduino was used in the context of STEAM studies that focused on physical computing and/or digital fabrication and was conducted in primary (Bureekhampun & Mungmee, 2020), secondary (Callahan, 2019; Juškevičienė et al, 2021; Maaia, 2018; Morton et al, 2017) and higher education classrooms (Kaneko & Yamada, 2019).…”

“…Students, working in small workshops equipped with 3D printers and other computer‐controlled tools offering personalized digital fabrication, engaged in activities aimed at developing their STEAM knowledge and skills. Others explored the influence of using these technologies on interest levels in specific STEM disciplines such as maths and science (Callahan, 2019; Chung et al, 2020; Kim & Kim, 2020), computing, and programming (DesPortes et al, 2016; Hug et al, 2017a, 2017b; Jailungka et al, 2020; Juškevičienė et al, 2021; Timotheou & Ioannou, 2019) and on future STEAM careers (Callahan, 2019; Morton et al, 2017; Park, 2014). For example, Hug et al (2017a, 2017b) designed a series of workshops for primary and secondary school children to connect computational thinking with musical thinking leading to students noting programming was less “hard and boring” and, therefore, something for which they could achieve success.…”

Background The advent of new and emerging technologies and industries has highlighted the need to equip youth with a unique skillset necessary to cope with a rapidly changing and complex digital era and adapt to modern societies' demands. This need has led to the development of teaching approaches to equip students with creative and innovative skills to help prevent any future skills gap. This shift has fuelled the growth of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education worldwide. Objectives Our goal was to engage in a systematic review of the literature to identify the application and prevalence of emerging technologies within the landscape of STEAM Education. Methods We engaged in a systematic review of the literature. Following the application of exclusion criteria to 461 studies, 43 studies were extracted and analysed. Findings and Conclusions Analysis of these studies provides evidence of the fast‐growing use of innovative emerging technologies within the STEAM landscape across all levels of education, from early childhood to college‐level settings. Our analysis reveals an emphasis on developing STEAM‐related disciplinary knowledge and the desire to develop students' 21st‐century skills with a notable lack of targeted emphasis on developing understandings in the arts disciplines. We identify the need for carefully designed intervention studies involving collaboration between multidisciplinary STEAM experts that use high‐quality measures which support the development of inferences relating to learning outcomes arising from such interventions.

“…There are studies showing the importance and positive effects of STEAM education in art education (Liao, 2016;Jeon and Lee, 2014;Guyotte et al, 2015;Andreotti and Frans, 2019;Phanichraksaphong and Tsai, 2021;Morton at al., 2017). Hasanova (2021), drawing attention to the importance of aesthetic education in the full development of young generations, emphasized the invaluable contribution of music education in this direction.…”

STEAM is an interdisciplinary educational approach. Based on the idea that different disciplines can meet on a common ground, the STEAM approach aims to give students the habit of working together, to provide rich learning experiences and to focus on real-world problems. This study investigates STEAM-based digital learning applications used in music education, their contents and age group suitability. For this purpose, the method of the research is the narrative review study. In this context, we analyzed the Chrome Music Lab, Scratch Music, Groove Pizza, earSketch, UPISketch and iMuSciCA applications. Studies have proved that digital-based STEAM applications used in music education increase students’ creativity, improve their music learning, and increase their interest in the lesson because they offer fun learning. With the development of technology, it has become necessary to adapt the methods and techniques used in music education to the age. By integrating art education, which has an important place in STEAM education, with other disciplines, music lessons can be effective and more permanent. The study shows that the more effective use of related applications by music teachers will contribute to music education and it is important in this regard.
