With Steam, users can install and automatically update games, use community functions including friends lists and groups, and use cloud storage, in-game voice and chat functions.
Steam software provides an application interface called Steamworks for free, which developers can use to integrate the functions of Steam into their own products, such as network, online battle, achievement and microtransactions, and share the content created by users through the Steam Creative Workshop.
Second, the concept of STEAM education
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. STEAM education is a comprehensive education that integrates science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
STEAM aims to integrate all topics with each other, so as to teach interdisciplinary. These programs aim to teach students to be innovative and critical, and to use engineering or technology to solve practical problems in social research with imaginative design or creative methods.
The STEM program makes STEM more beautiful. By applying the principles of reasoning, morality and design and encouraging creative solutions to offer courses, it effectively eliminates the meaning of STEM distinction, because the term now covers almost all academic fields.

First, the Steam client
If you want to use Steam, please install the Steam platform client first, and you can enjoy the right to use the Steam platform (free) after registration. The paid games on the Steam platform must be purchased from the agent retailer and activated on Steam;
Or buy online through the Steam platform, and after obtaining the serial number of the game (generally, the game will be directly obtained after direct purchase), you can have the right to download, install and use (the game is permanently bound to the account after activation, and any computer can log in to the account with the right to use).
The Steam client needs to be updated to the latest version in order to get a better gaming experience. All updates (including games) of the Steam platform are automatic.
In addition to the account number and password, each STEAM account. There is also a unique set of STEAMID. The standard is: STEAM_0:0 (it may also be steam _ 0:1): xxxxxxxx (x is an Arabic numeral from six to eight yards 0 to 9).
A new function called STEAM GUARD has been added to the client of the Steam platform to protect the security of the Steam user account. STEAM GUARD first needs to bind the Steam account to a secure mailbox;
When a Steam user logs into the Steam account with a computer that has not logged into his own Steam account before, Steam will send an email containing a verification code to a secure mailbox, and then enter the verification code through the verification interface that pops up in the login interface to confirm that the person logging into the Steam account is the owner of the account.
STEAM GUARD has greatly increased the security performance of the Steam account.
Second, the origin of the idea of STEAM education
The idea of STEAM education was first put forward by the American government as an educational initiative to strengthen the education of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in K 12 in the United States. The original body of STEAM is the concept of STEM, that is, the initials of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Encourage children's development and improvement in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, cultivate children's comprehensive literacy, and thus enhance their global competitiveness. Recently, I joined Arts, that is, art, and became more comprehensive.
