The term STEAM refers to the study and teaching of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and art, which considers its application from the level of preschool education to higher education. The purpose of its methodology is oriented towards the development of critical and systemic thinking, self-management and institutional self-innovation. The methodology used was documentary, that is, based on a national and international bibliographic review on the STEAM approach, through specialized search engines: Concytec Library, Mendeley, Redalyc and Google Scholar. The STEAM approach represents a valuable contribution to the educational process to encompass the main actors in education, promote competencies, joint actions, of a collaborative nature, between teachers and students of any educational level.
