• Resumen

  • STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) and studentcentered instruction are seeing a rapid growth in popularity, but their reach is notadequately distributed across diversity groups (diversity can include different genders, economic backgrounds, immigrant backgrounds, abilities, and races, amongother characteristics). The CreaSTEAM project intends to address diversity gapsthrough the development of STEAM-Labs, which are student-centered spaces thatcombine components of fab labs, media labs, and user labs to specifically targetdiversity gaps. To gather data on existing best practices that will be used in theSTEAM-Labs, this paper carried out an informal PRISMA systematic review on acollection of 124 worldwide STEAM diversity initiatives. The analysis studied theinitiatives’ founding years, as well as the overall STEAM content area prevalenceand diversity target area prevalence of the set. The analysis found that STEM wasthe most common content area, and gender was the most common diversity targetarea. There has been a large increase in initiative creation since the early 2010s.
