STEM
STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – is the modern multidisciplinary approach to learning, understanding and contributing to the technologically-advanced world we live in. Through the introduction and focus of STEM programmes in schools and universities, learners and more importantly, the future engineers and scientists of tomorrow will absorb and apply the necessary skills and training needed to support and drive innovation within their communities.
So how do we create an innovative platform that will propel our children into the future of STEM while equipping them with the necessary interest, passion and skills they will need?
The answer is simple – STEM KITS
STEM Kits encourage students to tinker and experiment with real-world STEM applications and solutions that facilitate practical experience and learning. The STEM Kits are easy to use, self-explanatory, curriculum-based, and enhance life and creative skills, empowering learners to develop strong problem-solving and analytical skills through a practical, experiential and innovative mode of learning.
With multiple projects, experiments, learning material and online resources available, EdgeFX STEM Kits promote innovation through project-based, practical learning that can be done at home or at school.
Do it Yourself (DIY)
The DIY approach captivates students’ attention through learning and experimenting with real world problems and applications in the fields of STEM. DIY encourages learners to apply and improve their problem-solving and analytical skills in an exciting way introduced to all ages in classrooms and homes across Botswana.
ENTHUSIASTS
The STEM Home Pack Kits are training kits for learners above eight (8) years old and are ideal for home and individual use. The training kits include up to 75 projects, experiments and activities that provide practical applications in electronics, robotics, and coding across a diverse range of learning outcomes suitable for primary and secondary school learners AND even STEM-enthused adults!
INNOVATORS
The DIY Innovation Projects are designed for Degree/Master’s students in engineering, as well as college and brigade students.
EDUCATORS
Tinkering Labs are a hub for innovation, design, open-ended experimenting and prototyping that fosters analytical and problem-solving skills, entrepreneurship, teamwork, leadership and communication in learners. Equipped with education-pack STEM Kits, the Tinkering Lab is an education solution that enables learners to build and experiment with hundreds of projects and real-world applications.
TINKERERS
STEAM Home Pack Kits are aimed at Tinkerers and Hobbyists. The STEAM Home Packs allow learners to experiment with three (3) projects that have real-life applications.
