We Believe in the Transformative Power of STEAM Education

We believe STEAM education will not only produce tomorrow's designers and engineers; it will develop innovative mindsets and the ability to problem-solve, ensuring that our students become creators of technology, not just passive consumers.

Future minded students want to be educated in areas that will help them thrive in their career – 50% of students aged 14 to 16 years old say they want to learn more practical on-the-job skills.

  • VIRTUES AND VALUES

    Learning virtues and values such as empathy and kindness, and developing emotional intelligence are equally as important as the math, science and creativity lessons that we teach, in order for children to understand themselves, their connection to others and to the world.

  • Life Skills

    Research suggests that higher levels of emotional intelligence are linked with better leadership and the ability to cope with pressure, so there is a desire to help teachers develop such abilities in their students.

  • STEAM Education

    STEM has now morphed into STEAM through incorporating the Arts into the established science- and maths-orientated subject areas. STEAM education is not in opposition to STEM education; it enriches and expands the scope of STEM education.

  • SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE TEACHERS

    STEAM education on a modest scale can be designed and implemented by an individual innovative teacher. We aim to help individual educators improve teaching activities.

  • ENHANCING CREATIVITY

    Research shows that activities associated with the arts can enhance creativity, problem-solving, memory systems, motor coordination, and analytical skills.
It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. — Henri Poincaré

Technology will transform the world of work. That presents a significant challenge as well as an opportunity to provide the right learning for young people. Tech can support that process through new learning platforms, and new types of learning content. — Alex Snow, head of research at Foundation for Young Australians
