STEAM is an education approach or design that combines these aspects of learning to create a pathway to learning. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving. May favorite part of this is the development students to be more critical thinkers. JAS
“The word quasar stands for quasi-stellar radio source. Quasars got that name because they looked starlike when astronomers first began to notice them in the late 1950s and early 60s. But quasars aren’t stars. They’re now known as young galaxies, located at vast distances from us, with their numbers increasing towards the edge of the visible universe.” (https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/definition-what-is-a-quasar/) ~TM
A quasar is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, powered by a supermassive black hole, with mass ranging from millions to tens of billions times the mass of the Sun, surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk (Wikipedia) JAS

UD Principle 1. Equitable use.
UD Principle 2. Flexibility in use. To me this means the ability to accommodate things like being left handed or blind. This is an important aspect of Universal design in that when it is defined as “for anyone, regardless-” that is what is really meant. ~JAS
UD Principle 3. Simple and intuitive. To make things streamlined in a way that the user doesn’t have to try and do intense research just to do one simple task. To make things easy and clear for the user to be able to do exactly what they were trying to accomplish with minimal effort. IMF
UD Principle 4. Perceptible information.
UD Principle 5. Tolerance for error: The ability for one to accept that failure is part of life. Without failing, no one can improve or stay humbled. It is also accepting that others may not be as advanced as you, and may need help. We are only human after all. ~AH
UD Principle 6. Low physical effort. JBB
UD Principle 7. Size and space for approach and use.
