The STEAM Investigative Process
In this lesson, we introduce learners to our 21st Century version of The Scientific Method — a project-based learning approach called The STEAM Investigative Process. It is designed to strengthen skills in research, design, planning, coordination and evaluation activities to help learners successfully identify a problem, develop and implement an impact solution, and professionally present their documented results and achievements.
