By integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (hence the acronym), it empowers students to tackle complex problems, embrace diverse perspectives, and prepares them for their future careers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20190905_155244845_iOS.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20190905_155244845_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"STEAM education relevant current event problem\" class=\"wp-image-10727\" width=\"391\" height=\"293\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, STEM and STEAM extend far beyond an art-focused science fair project. STEAM education is intricate, resembling a captivating puzzle rather than a mere science-themed arts and crafts activity. Each piece of this educational puzzle is indispensable, contributing to the final picture that emerges. To facilitate the creation of engaging and transdisciplinary units of STEAM in the classroom for any grade level, teachers can leverage powerful tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nearpod<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flocabulary.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flocabulary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New to Nearpod?

It should be selected from a local, community-based problem. However, that does not mean that you can\u2019t select a problem that is a global issue, particularly if it is a current hot topic amongst your students.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Flocabulary\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flocabulary.com\/subjects\/life-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Life Skills<\/a> lessons, you can find authentic global topics. These topics include bullying, diversity, activism, nutrition, and internet safety. For example, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/libraries\/23703\/preview\/culture-L72625349\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nearpod and Flocabulary lesson on Culture<\/a>, students learn about how culture impacts various aspects of our lives. This can start a conversation on how to solve some of the cultural issues in their own community.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Flocabulary&#8217;s Week in Rap is a weekly, rapped recap of important headlines and student news used for teaching current events. Two new videos are released each week: The Week in Rap for grades 6 to 12 and The Week in Rap Junior for grades 3 to 5.
