National S.T.E.M. and S.T.E.A.M Day is a day intended to inspire students (of all ages, genders, and nationalities) to pursue understanding and careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. While the need for knowledgeable workers in these areas has increased, the number of students pursuing careers in these areas hasn’t kept pace. So, whether you’re in one of those careers or simply want to show your support for STEAM and STEM, here are some ideas for adding a little function and fun into your wardrobe.
Support Science
Science makes our world go ’round. Between medicine, transportation, building materials, and more, the world of chemists, biologists, ecologists, physicists (and all the other specialties) keep us healthy, safe, and moving.
Get Techy With It
When people think of STEM and STEAM, technology is usually central and most obvious. Considering how quickly technology is shifting and changing every day, this is an area that requires a lot of imagination, vision, and knowledge. These tech-focused cuff links will help you show off your technology while still looking cutting edge.
Move a Little
Engineering is a field that really makes us move. From the gears of a watch, to the movement of robots and drones, to building safety, and the tiniest microchips, engineering is an ever-evolving area that does fascinating things!
Painting in Broad Strokes
It’s only been recently that Art has been added to STEM, making it STEAM. The arts are an integral part of this equation, since the arts allow us to fully engage both sides of our brain. And, who doesn’t love something beautiful. After all, isn’t that part of the appeal of a brand like Apple? These cufflinks are great for reminding you that beautiful and functional don’t have to be independent of each other.
Make Math Matter More
Math may seem like a skill that you’ll never use, but there are such great things that are done through math! Consider the calculations needed to launch a rocket into space and return it safely to earth. Think about how important math is to knowing the weight limits of things like airplanes and elevators. And then consider all the mathematicians imagining what it will take to get to and live on Mars, or how far the stars are and how long their light takes to reach us.
Imagine The Possibilities
The world of STEAM impacts each aspect of our lives in ways that we often don’t think about. This year, on November 8th, pay homage to these growing, and necessary, fields with something that will remind you of their impact all year round. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, give our helpful support team a call or email us (thanks techy people!). We love to help!
