STEAM: The Evolution of STEM
STEAM is often referred to as STEM 2.0 because it represents an evolution in education. By integrating the Arts into the traditional STEM framework, we create interdisciplinary links that enhance learning and development. This innovative approach ensures that our learners can draw on knowledge and understanding from various subject areas, fostering a holistic educational experience. Our school is committed to providing a STEAM education that prepares our students for success in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
Creating Interdisciplinary Connections
In our classrooms, we deliver lessons that weave together the arts and STEM subjects aligning with the British Curriculum. This interdisciplinary approach encourages students to engage in enquiry, discussion, and critical thinking. Through these activities, they learn to take calculated risks, solve problems, collaborate effectively, and think creatively. Our goal is to help students generate innovative solutions to complex challenges, preparing them for success in any field they choose to pursue. At Kent College, we believe that STEAM education is essential for developing these skills.
Extracurricular Activities: Expanding Horizons Through STEAM
Education at Kent College goes beyond the classroom by integrating STEAM principles into our extracurricular activities, providing a unique British modern school experience. We offer a variety of clubs and activities that help students discover new passions and talents through practical STEAM applications.
Robotics Club: Our Robotics Club allows students to design, build, and programme robots, applying their STEAM knowledge creatively. They develop problem-solving skills, collaborate with peers, and engage in competitions that foster ingenuity and teamwork
Coding Classes: Our Coding Classes teach students programming languages to create apps, games, and websites, enhancing technical skills. These classes also promote logical thinking and creative problem-solving.
Design Challenges: Design Challenges integrate STEAM by having students tackle real-world problems in teams, brainstorming, prototyping, and refining solutions. Projects might include sustainable buildings, innovative transportation systems, or new product development.
Additional STEAM Opportunities: Beyond specific clubs, we offer numerous opportunities for students to apply STEAM concepts through science fairs, engineering competitions, and interdisciplinary projects, ensuring they are constantly challenged to think critically and creatively.
Nurturing the Innovators of Tomorrow
At Kent College, we believe in inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders. Our STEAM education curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and passion in our students. By integrating artistic creativity with scientific and technical rigour, we help students see the world from multiple perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of how different disciplines intersect. This comprehensive approach equips them with the skills and mindset needed to excel in an increasingly complex world.
Teachers will ensure that the experiences they provide give the children the opportunity to develop these different characteristics.
