Rising STEAM Stars (RSS)
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEAM) RSS is the program for young children runned by ProjeKt Inspire, where it gathers young children and STEM enthusiasts aged 3-14 from primary Schools. Rising STEAM Stars employ the Project Based Integrated Learning ( STEAM – PBIL) as a tool to enhance the learning in complement with the formal primary schools’ science and mathematics curriculum. The themes have been revolving around the Sustainable Development Goals, where each year we pick a goal that the students will find problems that can be solved with STEAM disciplines. This unleashes the students potential through involving students in integrating their classroom lessons into problem-solving projects as a way of improving the quality of education, and consequently quality of graduates from primary schools. The goal is to trigger participation of students in the STEAM field giving them an opportunity to learn about various career paths and develop interest in the field, triggering their creativity and research skills thus developing a well-rounded education essential to country’s development.
