What is STEAM?
We believe innovation is the way to ensure a more prosperous and sustainable future. Innovation has been associated with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – the STEM subjects, which we believe alongside Art and Design can help to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century.
This is a unique course will bring together young people from around the world, with expert partners and facilitators who will inspire, challenge and prepare them to develop a solution.
GSL STEAM will take place at Queens College, Taunton between Monday 16th – Friday 27th July 2018. For more information, click here.
