Why STEM Education is must for every School In India

"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science."

 

STEM is an abbreviation that stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM is based on the idea of educating students in four disciplines that are science technology engineering and mathematics in and applied approach rather than teaching the four disciplines as separated subjects. It is an approach to learning where academic concepts are linked with real world lessons. Students apply science technology engineering and mathematics and make connections between classroom and world around them. This concept is designed to improve how students grasp science and how they apply. It basically focuses on project based learning, this projects and activities, incorporated technologies are given importance to learn the applications of science and prepare students for future.

 

In school STEM has different levels with respect to student grades:

1. Elementary level:

At this level STEM basically focuses on the introductory level, as well as its awareness of the STEM fields and occupations. At this level the education is provided in such a manner that it connects all four of the STEM subjects. The only goal is to raise the interest of students in project based learning of the student.

2. Middle School.

At this level the course becomes more challenging, because with the awareness of STEM fields and occupations the students have to pursue academic requirements of these fields.

3. High School.

At this level the program focuses on the applications of subjects in challenging manner at this different courses and pathways are now available in STEM fields and occupations as well as preparation for post-secondary education and employment.

 

Also one of the greatest President of all time, Mr. Obama had announced in 2009 "Educate to Innovate" campaign to motivate and inspire students to excel in STEM subjects.

The oldest Newspaper THE HINDU also highlighted the importance of STEM Education in the education sector. It says that

"STEM education is the need of the hour to help students

 make the leap from users of technology to innovators"

It also stated that as India is one of the countries that produces the highest Number of scientists and engineers, the growth of stem has picked up significantly over the last few years. Research shows that children develop interest in STEM fields at an average age of 8 years. This is due to the fact that technology & gadgets fascinates them. In India though a lot of innovations are coming into existence they are taking place with respect to STEM. For the development of stem education for students and to increase their interest, management are looking beyond smart classrooms towards hands-on learning and STEM enhancements on their current technologies and smart class platforms. Many STEM Companies are working with Schools such as ROBOKART.  Nearly we have contributed to this great concept by establishing over 400+ Atal Tinkering Labs, Private STEM Labs with upcoming technologies like Virtual Reality, and Augmented reality. Also to provide experiential learning experience for the Kids in K-12 segment we have started our series of online courses which you can access over here “Robokart.com/courses”. Also for the students who want one on one Coding sessions they can enroll it from here“Robokart.com/smartcoders”. We are working at our best so that we can provide the Best Education to the Students in this field in each and every way possible. Also the Government is looking to help educational institutes to upgrade their library infrastructures with more engaging learning assets and management tools. Being the second most populated country with unmatched talent and culture. India needs a combined support from government and other education societies to avail the opportunity and benefits of STEM education. Now the Indian Government is focusing on campaigns such as Make in India, Innovation Mission. Despite being in its initial phase, STEM education has started gaining popularity among the population that appreciates and welcomes innovation in education. It is believed that STEM education can be beneficial, generating skills like creative thinking and problem solving in modern day learners.
