The science of today, is the technology of tomorrow.
STEM / STEAM Projects
STEM Goal
The goal of the STEM/ STEAM club will be to promote and get more girls, women and youths engagement and interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Participants will be engaging in hands-on STEM/ STEAM activities with the help of volunteers and educators from the community. Our program will take place approximately eight times a month, or twice weekly. The activities will focus on collaboration, team building, communication, helping peers, and finding a passion for knowledge enabling them to making a difference in the community and the world.
Reward
STEM challenges offer an invaluable opportunity for students to work together in order to solve problems, and be rewarded for this through the receipt of official certificates or prizes. It is equally important that this involvement is recognised by the rest of the school, through praising those participating in assemblies, form time and STEM lessons. This will serve to place more value in these students and in the school’s STEM subjects as a whole.
STEAM Goal
It is obvious that the Arts should be included in STEM education. We are confident that the STEAM program will brings out the skills of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication that are so important in the work place. And the earlier students are exposed to the STEAM disciplines, the better. Art is about discovering and creating ingenious ways of problem-solving, integrating principles and presenting information. By adding the elements of art to STEM based thinking; educators believe that students can use both sides of their brain—analytical and creative— to develop the best thinkers of tomorrow.
The “A” in STEAM represents liberal arts, language arts, social studies, physical arts, fine arts, and music. STEAM education is about applying creative thinking to STEM projects, igniting students’ imagination and creativity through the arts. It also exploring where art naturally fits into the STEM subjects: Studying art subjects contribute to the development of essential skills like collaboration, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. It also enhances a student’s flexibility, adaptability, productivity, responsibility, and innovation. All of these skills are required for a successful career in any field of study.
There also appears to be a very wide gap in the male to female ratio when it comes to those employed in STEM fields. Getting more girls and women interested in STEAM disciplines is another area in which we are addressing.
STEAM Goal
Educating students in STEM subjects prepares them for life, regardless of the profession they choose to follow, Women and minorities have traditionally been under-represented in such science and technology-oriented disciplines such as engineering, mathematics, data science, STEM and STEAM. We are actively trying to address this inequity. Even for youths who don’t choose a career in one of the STEM/STEAM fields, the skills they gain from a STEAM education can be translated into almost any career.
