What is STEM/STEAM and STEMA?
  • S.T.E.M. is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. S.T.E.M. education has become a global trend as we live in a rapidly changing world of technology. Modern technology is everywhere in our daily lives. Thus, developing skills to work with and even create new technology is more critical than ever.
  • S.T.E.A.M. is the same as S.T.E.M. but includes an Arts component to help develop a well-rounded learner.
  • STEMA Learning Centre is based upon the concept of S.T.E.A.M. education. Our goal is to develop a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.
What do students learn at STEMA?

STEMA Learning Centre offers a variety of courses such as:

  • Robotics: Students will work with robotics sets to assemble and code robots to perform certain tasks. We have different robot sets for different age groups.
  • Coding: Students will be introduced to basic coding concepts with block-based programming languages. They will be able to code their own animations and games. Then, students will move to higher-level text-based codes such as python and other programming languages.
  • Engineering: Students will learn to build various structures using different materials.
  • Technology literacy: We teach kids to use various popular computer software and mobile apps.
  • Digital Arts: Students will learn 3D design and modelling. Artifacts will be printed out using 3D printers. Also, students will learn how to make movies and edit videos.
  • Math, Science and other Academic Subjects: we offer an academic enrichment program to help students advance in their learning at school.
Why do kids need to learn STEAM so early?

It is never too early for kids to encounter technology. At STEMA, we have a variety of hands-on practices for young learners to gain various skills such as critical thinking, logical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. It is much more beneficial for students to learn meaningful skills and knowledge rather than just watching TV/videos and playing games.
