STEAM Skills Workshops
The Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics (STEAM) educational approach in the era of 4IR emphasizes a multidisciplinary and creative problem - solving approach. This is aligned with global trends in education and seen as an important innovation for the workforce of the future. In response to these trends, the GMMDC has integrated the STEAM approach in its Mathematics and Physical Sciences development projects since 2017.
Two types of STEAM skills workshops for learners and teachers are offered at project schools each year. The workshop programme mostly targets Grades 9 & 10 learners. Each workshop consists of 2-3 hour hands-on experiential learning session to promote trans-disciplinary & collaborative learning linked to real-life situations. Special 4D Frame and related STEAM activity kits of the GMMDC are used to allow participants opportunities to engage and solve a range of practical problems with mathematical links to the school curriculum.
