The world has transitioned into the technological phase, and now things seem to be moving in the tech zone. Digital literacy is a vital phenomenon in the tech world.
As the technological aspects of the various domains have evolved, they have captured the attention of children as well as adults. The children are attracted to everything that brings them joy and keeps them involved in the learning process. To serve the cause stated, STEAM minds focuses on four key domains to capture the minds of children and help them understand the core of learning.
The core focus :
The STEAM minds has a core focus on the following domains:
Coding from the scratch:
Coding gives children a sense of confidence. It makes them more creative, as it enables them to brainstorm ideas and implement methods from scratch. The children’s abilities are boosted, and their problem-solving skills are strengthened
The scratch programming involves:
- Game development:
Game development will make learning fun and interactive. Kids can create animations and mini-games on their own. This enhances their skills of logic-building, problem-analysis, and problem-solving. The fun part of this activity, which is creating animations and games, can uplift learning without making a child feel burdened or exhausted.
Mental Maths : Math-A-Genius
It involves the framework to improve a child’s computational thinking through abacuses and finger math such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division all at once to improve mental ability. The abacus helps children use their fingers, and it activates their brain sensors. Brain coordination concerning hand movements increases the concentration level, and mental math skills and stimulates the neurons of the brain.
What Abacus can do?
- Improves virtual memory skills
- Improves concentration
- Simulates the brain sensors
- Enhances brain activity
Animations
Through scratch programming kids can learn to make animations and logic to create the moving objects because it is aesthetically pleasant It helps youngsters to visualize their coding, making the process more pleasant and memorable for them.
Robotics:
The DIY STEAM Robotics kids allow children to enhance their cognitive skills and motor skills. It gives a boost to their brain activity as they break down the problem into chunks and then join it all to make a final product. It enhances their logic-building skill and brainstorming to tackle problems around them.It makes children collaborate and builds strong team work abilities. The kids learn communication skills and acceptance of diverse perspectives and new ideas.
