Description

Educational environments should provide students with learning opportunities that integrate a variety of disciplines and skills. Multidisciplinary initiatives in schools should be planned properly, but not focus just on scientific subjects. Teachers sometimes lack the tools to organize their teaching which would enable learners to access content from broader, multidisciplinary perspectives. STEM or STEAM implements multi- disciplinary approach needed to build the creative, innovative problem solvers of tomorrow. This course will offer strategies and content to help teachers set up and grow STEAM program, content enrichment, a STEAM class, and tools. The course will examine the principles of STEAM and its practices, including design thinking, intentional observing, collaborating, persisting, reflecting, and communicating. Participants will share their ideas, work collaboratively on designing learning scenario implementing 5Cs STEAM principles .
