The Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics (STEAM) educational approach in the era of 4IR emphasizes a multidisciplinary and creative problem - solving approach. This is aligned with global trends in education and seen as an important innovation for the workforce of the future.  In response to these trends, the GMMDC has integrated  the STEAM approach in its Mathematics and Physical  Sciences development projects since 2017. 

Two types of STEAM  skills workshops for learners and teachers are offered at project schools  each year. The workshop programme  mostly targets Grades 9 & 10 learners. Each workshop consists of 2-3 hour hands-on experiential learning session to promote trans-disciplinary & collaborative  learning linked to real-life situations. Special 4D Frame and related STEAM activity kits of the GMMDC are  used to allow participants opportunities to engage and solve a range of practical problems with mathematical links to the school curriculum.
