Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all over our sessions will be held online!
What is STEM?
STEM is a curriculum built on the idea of teaching students in four specific fields: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Through this interdisciplinary approach, students develop key skills including:
-
Problem-solving
-
Creative and independent thinking
-
Teamwork
-
Digital literacy
-
Communication
-
Initiative
The science category of STEM looks familiar and includes areas such as biology, ecology, chemistry, and physics.
However, STEM science is not the same as regular science classes. STEM science classes incorporate technology, engineering, and math into scientific studies!
STEM Technology classes have changed and include topics like digital modelling and prototyping, 3D printing, mobile technology, computer programming, data analytics, machine learning, and game development!
Much like technology, the field and scope of engineering have grown considerably in the last few decades. Engineering classes might include topics like civil engineering, electronics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and robotics!
Similar to science, mathematics is one STEM category with areas which sound familiar, such as algebra, geometry, and calculus. However, STEM math is quite different as it incorporates concepts and exercises that apply science, technology, and engineering to mathematics to widen students understanding of all STEM fields
Club Highlights
The Castlebrooke STEM Club aims to teach its STEM community about each STEM field in unique, interactive, and enjoyable ways. Students will get opportunities to partake in activities such as experiment analysis, coding projects, interactive worksheets and many more!
