Reimagining STEAM: AI, Art, and Technology for Creative Learning examines the evolving intersections of artificial intelligence, art, technology, and interdisciplinary learning within contemporary STEAM education. Bringing together theoretical perspectives, empirical research, classroom practices, and critical inquiry, the volume explores how emerging technologies and arts-based approaches can support creativity, human agency, interdisciplinary thinking, and innovative pedagogy. Across diverse educational contexts, the chapters address human–AI interaction, visual metaphor, science communication, storytelling, media arts, sustainability, game design, creative identity, and AI-integrated art education. The volume also considers the ethical, cultural, and pedagogical implications of emerging technologies, emphasizing the importance of human-centered and reflective approaches to technological integration. Collectively, the contributions position the arts as central to STEAM education and offer educators, researchers, and practitioners perspectives and practices for developing creative, inclusive, and future-oriented learning environments.
