STEAM, with its integration of various disciplines and learning avenues, plays a vital role in nurturing children's development. Through interactive play, children engage in problem-solving activities in an enjoyable and dynamic manner. They ponder questions like how spinning components drive other parts and delve into understanding the mechanisms behind motors and sensors, fostering their curiosity and critical thinking.

Throughout the process of building, children explore these concepts, formulating their hypotheses, and conducting experiments to test their ideas. This hands-on approach empowers them to develop a deeper understanding of how things work and why, cultivating their analytical skills and creativity.

In settings such as hospitals, STEAM not only serves as an educational tool but also proves therapeutic. It motivates children with limited mobility to engage in physical activities like standing, bending, and stretching while controlling their robots, promoting movement and exercise. Moreover, it aids in enhancing fine motor skills and dexterity, as seen when children manipulate bricks or components. Importantly, STEAM activities offer a welcome distraction from pain, medical procedures, or surgeries, redirecting children's focus towards an enriching and engaging experience, thereby contributing to their overall well-being.

STEAM is important because it helps teachers incorporate multiple disciplines at the same time and promotes learning experiences that allow children to explore, question, research, discover, and exercise innovative building skills.
