Abstract
Decreases in skill-based subjects in school curriculum has called for new ways and programs to be created to fill those gaps. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math, (STEAM) programs were begun to provide curriculum-based learning on those subjects. Due to these programs being fairly new there is little research and studies that have been done on the programs, which prompted my interest in the subject. This study calls on several personnel from schools with STEAM programs who were interviewed on what types of programs they have, their experience and their opinions on the programs. Many of the programs are in their early stages and for many it is too soon to tell if the programs are an effective solution to the missing curriculum. The biggest discrepancy is that the programs are not standardized, so each one is different and instruction, evaluation and success is up to the administrators and students of the program.
