STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Though it seems like a compilation of five academic fields, it is really an educational approach to teaching and learning STEM subjects through the arts. Basically, it intentionally integrates academic studies with arts disciplines, for example, visual art, dance, music, and theatre. Robots play a crucial role in early STEAM education for kids in both straightforward and subtle ways. First, robotics in STEAM education can provide a multi-sensory and experiential learning experience, which can significantly increase a kid’s capacity for learning, according to various studies. Using robots to teach STEAM can also help children understand how technology can be used to solve real-world problems.
A) INDEPENDENT THINKING STEAM education is not about hand-holding. Students are given room to think, evaluate, and determine how to best achieve their goals and complete projects. The results are not to be measured simply by success or failure; instead it’s the way of thinking that they learned while completing the projects that mattered the most to them.
B) COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH Many people tend to separate STEM from Art for the supposedly correct reason that art is about being creative and imaginative, while STEM is based on solid numbers and facts. One of the major advantages of STEAM education is its interdisciplinary approach. This also why STEAM education is so important for students no matter what field, art or science, they choose to pursue.
C) NATURAL CURIOSITY STEAM education encourages students to think outside the box and get inspired by more than just STEM-related subjects. This requires teachers not to set limits on students and help them become curious and free to learn all things.
We believe that learning happens best through self-discovery and exploration. In our programs, students are encouraged not only to build but make modification and redesign.
During this crucial time, there is explosion of brain activities as students must imagine how a redesigned model works and what process they should come up with to complete the re-designed.
