STEAM (an acronym for the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education is a powerful lever to engage students on STEM-related career pathways without sacrificing the humanities, especially when an interdisciplinary workforce is required to achieve innovation for the future. An international wellspring of educators is striving for the integration of the arts into STEM to develop creative and culturally responsive abilities among the next generations. Early years are the crucial period for cultivating children’s interests and approaches to learning in STEAM; therefore, we host the webinar on "STEAM Education in the Early Years" to encourage debates around the integration of STEAM learning experiences into early childhood classrooms. This would also help to improve the quality of early childhood education and care, thus benefiting the generations of digital natives.
