What is the solution?
Through after-school clubs and holiday workshops, Careers Fairs, Tech Expos, and other STEAM events STEAM Powered Education provides opportunities for children to learn 21st century STEM and STEAM skills that will inspire and challenge their understanding of the physical and digital worlds.
Training sessions with teachers help to build confidence in teaching STEM and STEAM activities to their students.
Additionally, we press schools on the need for STEAM skills to be centre stage in the school curriculum.
What do we believe in?
We believe that environmental and exponential technological developments have highlighted the need to instil an education that develops practical 21st century skills in Robotics, coding, problem solving and creativity that will help develop a young children to mould the future.
We believe that the current curriculum is in need of revitalisation and recalibration. Central to 21st century learning is STEM and STEAM. The importance of Mathematics and English as educational tools is undeniable, In Primary schools, however, an over emphasis is on these subjects alone is not enough. Science and specifically the practical aspects of science are being sidelined at the very time that we need them the most.
We believe that science must incorporate art, design and aesthetics (the 'A' in STEAM)as a catalyst for inspiration and that problems solving skills are developed through STEM and STEAM learning.

The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.
