Wait. What is STEM Approach?

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It helps children to learn basic principles of science and math through hands-on activities. It creates an environment where children can explore and ask questions. STEM activities focus on problem solving, discovery, and critical thinking skills. Kids learn best when they are active and engaged in what they are doing. STEM activities are a great way to spark curiosity, provide excitement, and encourage kids to explore the world around them. In this way, kids can improve their critical and creative thinking skills.
