In the intricate dance of education, where we often find the rhythms of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) leading the way, there emerges an unsung hero – the soft skills. These intangible yet vital skills are instrumental in honing a child’s character, aiding them not only in academics but in life’s unpredictable journey. Parents of young learners, let’s embark on a journey where we unveil the synergy between STEM and soft skills, where equations meet empathy, and formulas intertwine with communication.

When we think of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), our minds often gravitate towards logical reasoning, complex equations, and empirical evidence. However, nestled within the structured, analytical world of STEM, there’s an often underexplored and underestimated element – creativity. Let’s venture into the captivating dance between science and art, and explore how this blend fuels holistic learning, especially for our young inquisitive minds.

UPCOMING PROGRAMMES

Get in Touch

See Possibilities

Charge up the excitement of students through intriguing demonstrations that get them thinking of the phenomenon behind how and why things happen, then introduce Science concepts or explain Science themes with the assistance of interactive videos from STEMWerkz Channel so students are able to see the relevance between both activities. 

seePossibilities1

Close the loop between each classroom lesson

Have students to continue their exploration on Science themes using the guided learning journey in STEMWerkz Quests at home, or in their free time learn through play in the game-based town building zone, STEAMValley! Learning can happen beyond the classroom – it can happen anywhere!

spAnnualExperience

Students are given exposure to various Science themes and hands-on investigations to pique their curiousity.

  • States of Matter: Explore how different kinds of matter exist and can be described and classified by its observable properties.

 

  • Energy and its forms: Investigate how sound can make matter vibrate, and vibrating matter can make sound.

 

  • Forces: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence on how each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction
  • Force, Motion and Energy: Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.

 

  • Energy and its forms: Investigate it energy is present whenever there are moving objects, sound, light, or heat.

 

  • The Sun’s Rays: Light and its Effects: Find out if energy can be transferred from place to place by electric currents, and if it can then be used locally to produce motion, sound, heat, or light.

Explore Concepts

Build upon students’ foundation of Science with problem-based projects. Following The Framework (Robert H. Tai, Associate Professor of Education, UVA’s School of Education and Human Development), from identifying problems to designing solutions, we motivate students to practice ownership and stewardship while applying their Science and Engineering knowledge to bring their projects to fruition.

theFramework

These projects are designed alongside the teaching team and aligned to curriculum, where opportunities are made to allow hands-on tinkering, independent research work, tagged with guidance from teachers to reinforce Science concepts where necessary. 

The structure of the Explore Concepts project leverages on the Engineering Design Process, which enables students to formulate different approaches to everyday dilemmas. This process is provides support in creative problem solving and decision making, encouraging students to continuously evaluate which approach is likely to bring the greatest success.
