STEM is the integrated exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Through STEM, teachers act as facilitators, while students guide their own learning through problem-solving and collaboration. Children explore, play, and build curiosity about the natural world and the way things work.
At The Learning Experience, we take STEM one step further through our STREAMS model, which encompasses Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Social Studies. Children learn advanced 21st-century skills as they explore hands-on materials and work cooperatively to achieve a common goal. Our cross-curricular model provides children with enriching experiences that reflect the intertwined relationship of these subject areas.
