What is STEM Education and Why is it Important for Kids?

Innovations have become a part of human life in the current phase of technological development. Every now and then, we hear about new developments in various fields. We seldom see about educational developments and breakthroughs, especially in the early years of education. This is progressively causing a decline in learning ability, as traditional schooling focuses on rote learning rather than instilling a mindset. Researchers in the field of education have developed STEM education in response to this gap in learning. STEM education is a paradigm change in early learning that…

Top robotics competitions in india

Robotic competitions are a pretty effective way for both kids and adults to quickly learn the basic concepts of the technology. Robot contests bring together people of all ages — researchers, students, and hobbyists – who are working in distinct and possibly more difficult areas of robotics, providing rare and incredible opportunity to connect and learn from one another. As a technology that is set to rock tomorrow’s industry floors and workplaces, students as young as six years old have enrolled in robotics training institutes to learn the art.The growing…

Why STEM education is so important

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM education focuses on teaching these four disciplines as a whole, so that concepts may be easily applied through hands-on activities and real-life examples. Science, math, technology, and engineering are taught as four different disciplines in the traditional Indian educational system. STEM education, on the other hand, conveys knowledge through integrated learning that is based on real-world applications of concepts. STEM education allows children to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to…
