The STEM pillars—Knowledge, Tools, and Skills—are the cornerstones of a robust and impactful primary school STEM program. Knowledge encompasses the understanding of scientific concepts, mathematical principles, and technological advancements. Tools refer to the physical and digital resources used to explore, experiment, and create within STEM fields. Skills involve critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation.
Integrating these pillars into a primary school STEM program is vital as it cultivates a holistic approach to learning. It fosters curiosity, encourages hands-on exploration, and nurtures the fundamental skills required for success in an ever-evolving world. By embracing these pillars, students not only acquire subject-specific knowledge but also develop the essential abilities to adapt, innovate, and thrive in diverse fields, setting the stage for lifelong learning and achievement.
