Fostering innovation and collaboration from elementary school onward
Early introduction to STEAM starting in elementary school multiplies students' future capacity for innovation, particularly among girls and those from disadvantaged backgrounds (Source : Professor Raj Chetty, Stanford).
This turnkey program, complete with guides and workshops, allows all teachers to easily integrate digital technology into the classroom, with no prior technical expertise required.
Role-based collaboration and prototyping (trial and error) develop critical thinking, perseverance, active listening, and social cohesion in students.
Completing these hands-on projects builds lasting self-esteem in children, actively preparing them to become the problem-solvers of tomorrow.
Collaborative assembly methodology with role-playing
Building together, succeeding together
By engaging in role-playing, students develop various skills and gain a better understanding of collaboration, as well as the importance of each role within a team (Source: Dr. Daniel LeGoff, Neuropsychologist).
