Background: The advent of new and emerging technologies and industries has highlighted the need to equip youth with a unique skillset necessary to cope with a rapidly changing and complex digital era and adapt to modern societies' demands. This need has led to the development of teaching approaches to equip students with creative and innovative skills to help prevent any future skills gap. This shift has fuelled the growth of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education worldwide.Objectives: Our goal was to engage in a systematic review of the literature to identify the application and prevalence of emerging technologies within the landscape of STEAM Education.Methods: We engaged in a systematic review of the literature. Following the application of exclusion criteria to 461 studies, 43 studies were extracted and analysed.Findings and Conclusions: Analysis of these studies provides evidence of the fast‐growing use of innovative emerging technologies within the STEAM landscape across all levels of education, from early childhood to college‐level settings. Our analysis reveals an emphasis on developing STEAM‐related disciplinary knowledge and the desire to develop students' 21st‐century skills with a notable lack of targeted emphasis on developing understandings in the arts disciplines. We identify the need for carefully designed intervention studies involving collaboration between multidisciplinary STEAM experts that use high‐quality measures which support the development of inferences relating to learning outcomes arising from such interventions.
