THE DIDACTIC OPPORTUNITIES OF STEAM TECHNOLOGY IN DEVELOPING CHILDREN’S CREATIVE ABILITIES AT ART CENTERS

Abstract

Contemporary education finds itself at a crucial intersection where the integration of creativity, interdisciplinary skills, and technological literacy is essential for preparing children to thrive in an ever-evolving global society. Art centers, as informal educational environments, play a unique and vital role in fostering children’s creative potential. The implementation of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) technologies and methodologies in such settings offers a wide spectrum of didactic opportunities that fundamentally reshape both the approach and outcomes of educational processes.
