STEM activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for the student. Making math and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics
At Little Geniuses, we believe all young people should be prepared to think deeply and to think well so that they have the chance to become the innovators, educators, researchers, and leaders who can solve the most pressing challenges facing our nation and our world, both today and tomorrow.
What separates STEM from the traditional science and math education is the blended learning environment and showing our little geniuses how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life. It teaches computational thinking and focuses on the real world applications of problem solving.
STEM activities provide hands-on and minds-on lessons for the student. Making math and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn.
Challenges, mistakes, and problems are inherent every day in learning activities and social interactions. We use these challenges to help preschoolers develop a framework for approaching problems.
