Increasingly, the critical relationship of INNOVATION and DESIGN (i.e. Arts) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics is becoming more apparent. And with industry needing more women then ever before to study and work in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - perhaps DESIGN could also be an important angle in attracting more women into the field. Innovation and design within the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics go hand-in-hand. For example, User Interface Design (UI) and User experience (UX) are critical design elements for digital technology. Through adding Art + Design thinking to the equation, we can transform S.T.E.M. into S.T.E.A.M.
