WHAT IS S.T.E.A.M. EDUCATION?

 

Science/Sensory, Technology/Techniques, Engineering/Electronics, Art and Mathematics/Music?

 

                                                                       Science/Sensory

 

• Science is a way of thinking. Science is observing, doing experiments, making connections, coming to conclusions, sharing discoveries, asking questions and wondering how things work. 

• Sensory is applying to the senses such as touch, sound, sight, taste, and smell.

 

                                                                   Technology/Techniques

 

• Technology is a way of doing. Technology is using tools, identifying problems, trying to solve it, being inventive to make things work.

• Techniques the way in which basic physical movements or skills are used to display knowledge of a thing or product.

                         

                                                Engineering/Electronics

 

• Engineering is a way of doing things. Engineering is solving problems, using a variety of problems, designing and creating and building things that work.

• Electronics is the branch of science that deals with the study of flow and control of electrons (electricity).

 

Art

• Something that is created with imagination and skill and that is unexplainable or that expresses important ideas or feelings.

• There are different forms of art, they can be displayed individually or together.

                  

               Math/Music

 

• Math is a way of measuring. Maths is sequencing (1,2,3, 4 ..), Counting, Patterning, Volumes, and Sizes. 

• Music an arrangement of sounds having a melody and rhythm.

 

STEAM is a philosophy where educators (teachers along with parents) help kids learn by integrating knowledge across disciplines and encourage them to think in a connected and holistic way.

In the true sense, all children and even adults engage in STEAM activities spontaneously without knowing about this term STEAM on a regular basis.
