-regardless of background [1]. With a projected increase in STEM jobs of 8 percent by 2029 (ahigher rate than non-STEM jobs [2]) there is a need to address the equitable cultivation of aSTEM workforce that is diverse and culturally relevant.In order to broaden the interest of young learners in STEM, many educators are including art intheir STEM activities (making STEAM the new acronym.) This inclusionary practice has thepotential to encourage a more diverse population of learners to become engaged in STEMpractices [3]. With arts-inclusive STEM programming, we prepare students to beinterdisciplinary collaborators who can add new perspectives to the increasing demand forinnovation.Even with governmental initiatives and inclusive practices to increase
