Raising Interest in STEAM Education-
Leveling Up STEAM Education with Video Games!
Let’s be real—traditional teaching methods can sometimes feel a bit… stale. But what if we could turn learning into an adventure? That’s where video games come in!
We’re talking about non-formal video games—those games you love to play that actually teach you science, tech, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) without you even realizing it.
Minecraft lets you build, automate, and explore physics in a fun, creative way.
Kerbal Space Program makes rocket science exciting (and hilarious when things go wrong).
Factorio teaches logic, automation, and engineering as you build mega factories.
Why do games like these work so well for learning? Because they engage you, make you think critically, and let you experiment in ways textbooks just can’t.
And the best part? Many of these games encourage teamwork and problem-solving, key skills for future innovators! Whether you’re coding in Roblox, strategizing in Civilization, or solving physics puzzles in Portal, you’re building skills that actually matter in real life.
Of course, balance is key—too much gaming isn’t great, and not all games are educational. But when used right, they bridge the gap between learning and fun like nothing else can!
So, should schools embrace video games as learning tools? Drop your thoughts in the comments! Let’s chat!
