Why choose STEM?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEAM is the addition of Arts. Each subject is part of the greater whole of the lesson plan. So instead of teaching math as separate from technology or science, the concepts work together. Creating an interdisciplinary approach to instruction that resembles knowledge use in real life.
STEM activities and programs foster a lifelong love of learning. These activities create a zeal to learn that children hold on to for the rest of their lives.
STEM education is motivating, engaging, real-world inspired. Knowledge is taught the way it is used in the real world, with concepts and subjects interwoven seamlessly.
~ STEM is creative and adaptable, making it accessible to children of all levels of ability.
~ The teaching methods are inquiry-based, process-focused, and student-centered.
~ Teamwork, collaboration and communication is a major focus.
~ Students have the freedom to think critically, creatively and innovatively.
~ STEM lessons are an excellent way of reducing classroom anxiety and stress.
Once you understand STEM programs, how they work, and have seen the benefits they provide, it is easy to see why all children can benefit from a STEM program.
