Our Mission Statement:
"The mission of STEAM NM is to raise capacity for STEAM education throughout the state of New Mexico, providing opportunities for students and community members with a focus on higher education."
STEAM is an approach to learning that uses science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics to guide student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. STEAM investigates the same concepts as STEM, but through the inquiry and problem-based learning used in the arts, including humanities, language arts, dance, drama, music, visual arts, design and new media.

"... a bridge to connect Art, Science and Technology."
"... a platform that showcases Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math in various projects throughout the state."
"... helping to teach people about Science, Technology, and Engineering."
"...the process of including the arts into STEM programming to encourage interdisciplinary practices in education and the workforce."
