STEM EDUCATION
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students
in four specific disciplines, they are; Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics in an interdisciplinary and
applied approach. Rather than teaching the four disciplines as
separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a
cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.
What separates STEM from the traditional science and math
education is the blended learning environment and showing
students how the scientific method can be applied to
everyday life. It teaches students computational thinking skill
and focuses on real-world applications.
In Harvest Academy, we are progressively working to integrate
STEM education into our existing syllabus. The focus on STEM
is because this program of study emphasizes on the
application of the subjects in a challenging and rigorous
manner. Additionally, the courses and pathways which are
available in STEM fields prepare students for post-secondary
education and employment. Consequently, much weightage
is placed on STEM education programmes to build a bridge
between in-school and out-of-school STEM opportunities.
