WHY STEM?
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”merc-about-para-text-block”]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”merc-about-mission-para-text-block”]
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.
