STEAM nurtures a holistic view on reality. Through problem-based learning and critical-thinking, it connects the classroom with the real world by promoting both independent and collaborative apprentices.
As a result, they see their ideas realised in a combination of challenge, commitment, action, intense work and passionate collaboration.
What happens if we promote comprehensive learning experiences based on observation and inquiry, where students can ask important personal questions about the world, document the findings and create something that meets a genuine need, hence developing the unique talents and interests of each student?
