ABSTRACT
This chapter considers science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for gifted children in a glocal (global + local) context by adding 'agriculture' to the acronym to make it STEAM education. It discusses the significance and possibilities of STEAM education, which is STEM that incorporates the aspect of 'agriculture' STEM education has contributed to the modernisation of agriculture and STEAM education will arguably contribute to combining indigenous culture with aspects of science and technology in the education of young, gifted children. STEM Education is becoming popular worldwide, but it is being targeted mainly at secondary school students. Global issues in the twenty-first century are related to agriculture and are interdisciplinarily studied across natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since the latter half of the twentieth century, rather than simply searching for truths and laws in the natural world alone, science and technology has been strongly inclined toward the 'production of man-made objects'.
