The term “STEAM” is a common buzzword in educational reform. In 2022, high schools across Japan will start teaching new STEAM-related subject areas in “comprehensive exploratory learning”, “exploratory learning in science and mathematics” and so on.

Innovators who are working on STEAM in private education will talk about examples of STEAM in Japanese private education, how STEAM has changed Japanese education so far, and the relevance of the Japanese STEAM model to the rest of the world.
