It is the dumbest acronym. The A stands for Art. The entire point of STEM was that it wasnt art. STEAM is basically just everything

I've seen SHTEAM, with history added in. At that point, it's just school.

The first 10 google google results (the entire first page) for "what does steam stand for" all agree that it is art. I have never heard anyone refer to the "a" as being for agriculture so I am interested where you heard that it does

Wow you’re definitely correct then. My apologies.
I went and checked and Purdue now says the A can stand for both Ag and Arts, which was the only source I knew of that used it for Ag.
I had no idea.
