This article examines the theoretical foundations of integrating the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach into modern geography education and its practical effectiveness in the learning process. The author substantiates the role of teaching geography in connection with other exact and natural sciences in enhancing students’ critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. Moreover, the article provides methodological recommendations for using digital technologies and engineering approaches in modeling geographical processes.
