“Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn’t then it is of no use to us.” – Carlos Castaneda

Educating young people is the key to future innovation, so it’s probably a good idea to ask ourselves if we are on the right track.  The question about what to teach, how to teach and why to teach is perennial, and thousands of years old.  But the ongoing debate we are having about STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and STEAM (science, technology, engineering and math with a dab of the arts thrown in to pacify the Liberal Arts folks) seems a particularly strange one.
