Teaching in the 21st century is a far cry from the “sage on the stage” model of years past. Today, teachers act more like engineers of learning, crafting experiences that prepare students for complex, real-world challenges (Barbuceanu, 2020). In elementary classrooms, the STEAM approach science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, offers a framework for integrating multiple disciplines in ways that are meaningful, engaging, and future-focused.
