Description

The world of science may seem like a complicated maze that only a few can walk through easily, unless it is presented through a series of fun, engaging, interactive activities. If students are introduced to the world of STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) early on, they start looking at the world in a different way. “A” stands for integrating arts into the learning process. The use of visual tools can unleash STEM innovation, while developing communication and collaboration among students.

Students are ready to share their own thoughts and theories on how the world “works”, they explore, develop creativity, and critical thinking skills. Participants will be presented with activities that encourage design based learning as a basis for the development of problem solving skills.

This course is aimed at developing STEAM way of thinking that inspire the child to explore, think logically and debate. We will be developing fine motor skills, and eye-hand coordination. Part
