How does a school that used to focus on science integrate the arts? | 89.3 KPCC

STEM has been a buzzword in education for a while. It stands for science, technology, engineering and math. But now, the big thing is STEAM education - adding an "A" for arts.

Magnolia Public Schools is a charter school network, which operates 10 schools across Southern California. For over a decade, it had a strong STEM focus. But, after a push from teachers and administrators to integrate the arts to foster innovation and creativity, the schools are now learning what it's like to become STEAM schools.
