STEAM Teams Wear Many Hats

The video introduces the concept of STEAM, emphasizing the interdisciplinary approach of wearing different 'hats' to explore problems creatively. It uses the Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 as a case study, encouraging teams to ask questions from the perspectives of scientists, technology experts, engineers, artists, and mathematicians. The activity involves creating physical representations of these roles and using them to generate questions about the disaster. The video highlights the importance of connecting insights from all fields to solve problems and prevent future issues.
