DARE TO BE DIFFERENT AND WITNESS ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
STEAM EDUCATION
"I have no hesitation in saying we need to add the letter "A", "An education devoid of the arts...is an empty, half-brain kind of education."
Harvard University education professor, Howard Gardner
What is S.T.E.A.M?
According to Makeblock, "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 theater."
Why is it Important?
STEAM guides students to inquire, have dialogues and use critical thinking skills.
What is a Makerspace and why is it important for learning STEAM?
Makerspaces are areas dedicated for students to gather and create. This space provides an array of resources and allows students to create DIY projects. In this pace students are free to be creative, problem solve and invent.

"My teenage daughter is glued to her phone but when she was a youth counselor during your summer program, she didn't even know where her phone was. There were times that I called her and she didn't return my call until the end of the program. It was a great experience for her and she will miss the younger kids."
