?We hosted the seminar to provide the teachers hand on experience of STEM education through project based learning. The blended learning environment will show them how scientific method can be applied to education system. The Project Based Learning (PBL) will help to develop a computational thinking and focus on the real world applications of solving engineering and technology issues in day to day lives.We will host more such workshops in the future to promote this system of learning among the teachers & students?, said Dr Shauli Mukherjee, Principal, STEM World School
STEM is curriculum based and is premised on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines ? Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world. This education eliminates the boring lecture methods and practices ?Hands-on Activities? along with project-based learning. STEM has been the pet project of Mr Barak Obama, former President, USA and is widely used in USA and several other countries.
