Abstract/Description
This case study considers the role that art museums can serve while using science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) education. Through a qualitative inquiry, cases from literature are examined and opportunities are shared for best practices that art museums can use with STEAM education. This study not only advocates for art museums to include STEAM opportunities but also the collaboration between schools and art museums to be able to create these possibilities. Finding these concepts and ideas will show the unique position that art museums can play in STEAM education. This study will also share the influence in expanding and learning outside of the art classroom into communities. This inquiry involves the analysis of documents, interview reflections, as well as engaging in critical reflection.
