The NYC Department of Education’s STEM Education Framework describes STEM education as a methodology that “involves the study of science and mathematics, and the meaningful integration of technology and engineering to provide opportunities for innovative problem-solving. Using the engineering design process, students identify problems, develop and test possible solutions, and ultimately reach a solution.”
Younger students need experiences with engineering and technology if they’re going to succeed in our 21st-century world — a world that increasingly depends on these disciplines. The more we watch children the more we realize that they have a natural knack for engineering but our traditional rigid Maths and Language curricula actually dampens their ability and creativity, while the modern world requires problem solving skills as a basic literacy. We are incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) teaching with a concept-based approach towards learning. Our approach will excite students, motivate their teachers to help them achieve their true potential and blaze their own paths.
