Universal Design & STEAM
Team Starship Zenith
Basically, universal design is the concept that everything should be as accessible as possible for everyone.
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it
we go nowhere. – Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980.
STEAM is a type of teaching/learning that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math. These fields of study and industry hold the keys to the future of humanity.
Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. – Rosalind
Franklin
Both of these things are crucial because they ensure that we both continue to become more technologically advanced as a society and species, and that everyone is able to use the technology.
Why is STEAM education important?
