WHAT IS STEM EDUCATION?
About STEM Education: STEM is an interdisciplinary, integrated approach to teaching centred on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The concept has since expanded to include Art, giving rise to STEAM education. STEM or STEAM? Internationally, apart from Taiwan and Hong Kong, “STEM” is generally used as the umbrella term for STEM education.
STEM EDUCATION VS. TRADITIONAL EDUCATION
Traditional education is teacher-centred: teachers deliver knowledge to students, assess their abilities and focus on memorisation. Each subject is taught by a different teacher, with learning and assessment kept separate. STEM education, by contrast, guides students to explore challenges and learn how to solve them, developing their creativity and practical skills. It also emphasises making connections across different areas of knowledge.
NASA x A.I on Mars Summer Course【Ages 4.5–12】
The only NASA-authored STEM course in Hong Kong. In 2016, AME introduced its Kids Coding course developed to the U.S. NGSS standards. Through coding games, fun engineering projects and mobile app development, children can easily learn to master technology and shape their future. This year, we’re also introducing NASA-certified learning materials, giving children a unique opportunity to take part in a Mars mission ( A.I on Mars ).
KIDS CODING COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
1.
Using a dedicated coding platform, students take on a series of challenges and solve puzzles in the app while learning 64 fundamental coding concepts.
2.
Students are introduced to the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, including materials, structural design and planning. They design and assemble projects themselves, developing logical thinking in mechanics and engineering.
3.
This course features programmable circuit components that let students learn to use a circuit-building platform to create a variety of innovative gadgets. With an intuitive, flow-based coding approach, students can bring their limitless ideas to life.
4.
A.I. analysis is widely used in modern society. This course helps students learn how to use A.I. and analyse data, building their data processing and interpretation skills.
WHAT MAKES STEM EDUCATION SPECIAL
1. STEM Education (1) ~ Embracing a New Era of Broad-Based Skills
STEM education prepares students for a future where a broad skill set is essential and specialists in a single field are more easily replaced. Integrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM uses cross-disciplinary teaching to help students make connections between fields and apply what they learn.
2. STEM Education (2) ~ A Problem-Solving Approach
STEM education is guided by the principle, “Doing the right things is more important than doing things right.” It also centres on solving real-world problems, encouraging students to learn by exploring and tackling practical challenges. This develops their initiative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
3. STEM Education (3) ~ Fostering Creativity
STEM education teaches us that even the most advanced A.I. cannot solve problems it has never encountered—but humans can. When existing solutions fall short, STEM encourages students to come up with new ideas, concepts and solutions, such as writing code, building robots and developing technology applications. This helps foster creativity and innovative thinking.
4. STEM Education (4) ~ Collaborative Learning
Alongside creativity, humans have another superpower: “Communities of practice.” Learning from one another and sharing knowledge help ideas spread and drive innovation. STEM education also emphasises teamwork. In groups, students learn to share resources, ideas and knowledge, solve problems together, and strengthen their collaboration and communication skills.
5. STEM Education (5) ~ Critical Thinking
STEM education teaches students to use critical thinking when solving problems, analysing and evaluating the reliability of information to make sound judgements and decisions.
Tai Wai STEM ( Kids Coding ) is located in Shek Mun, Sha Tin. We offer STEM game courses for children aged 4–12, as well as AMO competition-level Olympiad Mathematics for students aged 4–15. (Shek Mun STEM | Sha Tin STEM)
