Universities are powerful agents of change in a society. 

Cambridge learning has allowed schools internationally to develop independent thinking. A similar network of accredited, independent universities across the Anglosphere needs to also be established. In a multi-polar world the Anglosphere must embraces technological innovation combined with its core values of individualism to continue to shape the future. A network of Anglosphere Universities focusing on Steam subjects spanning the globe is key to the society’s goals of progressing the Anglosphere forward.

STEAM is a curriculum based on educating students in five specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. STEAM education will determine whether we will be able to solve immense challenges in areas such as energy, health and environmental protection. Through STEAM we will develop the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians who will create new ideas, new products, and entirely new industries in the 21st century.

Improvements in STEAM education require educators and students to think more critically and analytically while engaged in experiential learning activities. Students can’t afford to sit and do worksheets all day. Students in STEAM disciplines approach problems hands-on with finding solutions in mind. The great astronomer and sceptic, Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Students must be curious about the world around them. STEAM education encourages curiosity and actively engages students while modelling higher level thinking skills in search for evidence to help solve problems.
