STEAM is an educational approach which integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics to a multi-subject program. STEAM is designed to encourage students to discuss and solve problems, improve practical skills and enhance appreciation towards collaboration.
Although The science, mathematics and art learnings in the classroom are part of STEAM, they are not part of STEAM program. STEAM program includes research project, robotics ( as both included in intra curricular or extra curricular), STEAM Expo, Maker Club, and Project-Based Learning (PBL)
STEAM activities
- Science research project. Detailed information is provided here.
- Robotics
Based on educational stage, robotics learning in Semesta is divided into 2 levels:
i. Junior High School students are provided with modules from Microbit. Currently about 30 modules are available in the STEAM room / Maker’s Space.
ii. Senior High School students are using modules from Arduino. There are about 50 modules available.
All robotics learning activities are using curriculum specifically designed by our team in website edusteam.id
