Hale Waihona Puke Gearphun supports STEM learning
Amanda Gummer, Child Psychologist - 2016
The STEM movement encourages holistic learning, where the child is at the centre of the experience and learns the same material across different contexts (Sneideman, 2013). Making STEM interesting and engaging for children from a young age creates active learners who will approach learning enthusiastically, and increases the chance that they will go on to study related subjects in higher education.
