Fostering creativity with STEM
At The NGP School, we firmly believe the STEM approach fosters creativity and divergent thinking alongside fundamental disciplines. It motivates and inspires young people to generate new technologies and ideas. With a focus on practice and innovation, students at The NGP School students learn from inquiry-based assignments.
At The NGP School, STEM education takes place in a separate STEM lab. It’s incorporated practically from the kindergarten level.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — 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.
Global skill shortages in STEM-related fields are redefining educational priorities. Schools are starting STEM-based learning programmes to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the 21st century. STEM learning will not only produce tomorrow’s designers and engineers; it will also develop innovative mindsets and the ability to solve problems, ensuring that the students become creators of technology, not just passive consumers.
Students who participate in STEM learning:
Think outside the box
Feel comfort to express innovative and creative ideas
Feel comfortable doing hands-on learning
Take ownership over their learning
Work collaboratively with others
Understand the ways that science, maths, the arts, and technology work together
Become increasingly curious about the world around them and feel empowered to change it for the better.
