"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
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."
STEAM guides students to inquire, have dialogues and use critical thinking skills.
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.
"Very pleased with the camp and the experiences and educational components provided to the children . My son had a great time and we will be enrolling again next summer!"
"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."
"Such a cool trip mashaa Allah!! Noure loved it and was so excited to tell me about it. She started dabbling in coding a couple months ago so this experience really put it in greater context and made it more meaningful to her. Jazakum Allah Khayran for your great workwith the kids."
"I love the creativity and for children to develop free thinking and putting their thought into action, no mater if they succeed or fail, both is important in order to grow and overcome."
"Thank you for an awesome 3 days, my extremely picky kids absolutely love it."
"Such an excellent program. My son learned so much in just 3 weeks he was there. Definitely recommend it!!"
