Abstract:

One of the main priorities of the Ministry of Science and Education is to train well-specialized and competitive professionals who can meet the demands of the modern era. In this regard, it is considered essential to explore and implement new educational models suitable for the age of artificial intelligence and computing. The STEAM education model plays a significant role in this process. It equips students with qualities such as creativity, critical thinking, and enhanced collaboration skills. By applying various programming languages, students improve their ICT competencies, learn to apply technical knowledge in practice, and gain engineering proficiency. It is now widely recognized that the era of purely theoretical education is coming to an end, giving way to practical intelligence. The STEAM project, as discussed in this article, adopts a conceptual and integrative approach to all subjects. By aiming to nurture innovative, creative, and critically thinking students, this model maintains its relevance and importance in contemporary education.
