STEAM, first proposed in the United States in 1986, is a practice-oriented interdisciplinary education approach. The program aims to break the boundaries between disciplines, develop students' comprehensive ability to solve real-world problems through project-based explorations and hands-on practices, and cultivate well-rounded talents.
STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.
The Happy Kids STEAM curriculum is based on the characteristics of children's physiological development and children’s psychological know-how. The benefits extend from 2 to 6 years old through a four-stage curriculum of each schoolyear. Children-centered, the curriculum gives full play to children’s curiosity and learning passion.
Develop students' creativity and innovation ability, logical thinking, problem solving ability, learning ability , teamwork spirit, information literacy, interdisciplinary application and exploration spirit.
We are using a 5E's exploration-based teaching approach: engagement—exploration—explanation—extension—evaluation. In this step-by-step learning loop, children are able to grasp knowledge and master a way of thinking, and develop independent thinking. Additionally, through developing their hands-on ability, spirit of exploration, collaboration mindset, and creative skills, children are expected to be highly competitive in their future careers.
