Materials in the Future I thoroughly enjoyed this particular course as a Chemist. I was blown away by the new natural biodegradable plastics. The trainers/sneakers by Adidas and Parley look so neat. One would not immediately realize what they were made from. The video was short but inspiring. The use of mycellium and directing and shaping the growth pattern is quite interesting. The fact that it has the potential to, and has been replacing styrofoam makes me want to do further research on our own natural resources here in Jamaica. One of my students make biodegradable plastic using bananas and it was quite good. The amount made, though, would affect any potential cost unless banana skins were obtained from a factory free of cost to be used. This makes me want to go back to the drawing board and do some more research!!!!

Challenges to Integrating STEAM We have already begun to introduce STEAM in our classrooms in Jamaica. It started with the National Standards Curriculum. There are so many areas to explore and incorporate. That is the challenge. We may need to approach it like a STEAM lesson!!! Schools have been having STEM and STEAM challenges, competitions and Club activities. Some schools have begun to integrate subject disciplines. The aim is to start. The MoSAIC featuring Gareth Campbell is so interesting. As educators, we do not need to be experts in AI, but can begin step by step. This is truly an interesting journey!!!!
