STEAM
STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. These are the innovators, educators, leaders, and learners of the 21st century.
This approach to learning is certainly not an easy task, but the benefits to students and the entire school community are tremendous. Students and teachers engaged in STEAM make more real-life connections so that school is not a place where you go to learn but instead becomes the entire experience of learning itself. We are always learning, always growing, always experimenting.
Here at Brocklesby Public School we are innovative and an example of this is our STEAM program which provides our students with a variety of fantastic learning opportunities across these areas.
Many of the activities are based on the philosophy where students learn together and have greater control, involvement and choice in their learning.
Recently we have offered:
•Coding in ICT
•National Science Week combined activities with Lowesdale and Savernake Public School
•Student led Coding and Robotics with Howlong and Burrumbuttock Preschool’s
•Stage 2 excursion to Science works in Melbourne
