It looks like STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and design, and math) has undergone a change. At one point, it was simply; science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
It’s not the only term that’s changed, the Vancouver (Canada) institution that was rebranded as Science World at Telus World of Science in 2005 (after they got money from Telus) has reverted to its original name Science World this year in 2020.
Now the naming has been clarified (for me, if no one else), here’s some event news from an October 19, 2020 article by Steve Newton for The Georgia Straight,
B.C.’s favourite defender in the battle against COVID-19, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, will give the opening keynote address at an online kids’ event next month.
Henry will speak at the start of the Girls and STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts and Design, and Math) virtual symposium, which takes place November 7 [2020] at Science World.
…
Closing keynote speaker will be environmental researcher Sarika Cullis-Suzuki.
There’s a very slick video from Science World,
