The STEAM Games encourage students to work collaboratively, think critically and design creatively.
We Are All Makers
What is a Makerspace?
A Makerspace is a dynamic and collaborative environment in our schools where STEAM learning takes place. Students engage in hands-on, creative projects using various materials, tools, and technologies.
Key Components
- Versatile Materials: Cardboard, robotics kits, 3D printers, and coding tools cater to
diverse projects and interests. - Open-Ended Projects: Students freely choose and pursue projects, promoting ownership and enthusiasm.
- Cross-Curricular Integration: Makerspaces seamlessly align with various subjects, facilitating
interdisciplinary learning and reinforcing academic concepts.
Positive Impact on Students
- Enhanced Problem Solving: Students learn to overcome challenges and setbacks,
developing resilience and perseverance. - Increased Engagement: Maker education captivates students' interest, making learning
an exciting and dynamic experience. - Real-World Application: Applying theoretical knowledge to practical, real-world
scenarios helps students see the relevance of their education.
