Australia Post issued five spectacular stamps to celebrate STEAM, the abbreviation that represents such fields of study as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The items from this philatelic release feature elements of STEAM that are being studied in schools. These are biology, robotics, and coding, chemistry, physics, astronomy, computer science, and the creative arts, such as painting. The issue is also devoted to this year’s Stamp Collection Month.
Modern times are full of serious challenges like global warming, the speedy development of technology, as well as social media networks, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Making young people get interested in STEAM is crucial for ensuring a successful and safe future for all Australians. Science, technology, and even arts are very important for developing critical thinking and inducing the youth to be more initiative. STEAM shows the impact of science and technology on modern life.
The stamps were illustrated by Andrew Hopgood and designed by Sonia Young from Australia Post Design Studio.
