STEM at OLR

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning plays a pivotal role in today's schools, as it fosters essential skills and mindsets. STEM learning promotes:


Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: STEM education encourages students to analyse, evaluate, and solve real-world problems. By engaging in hands-on activities, students learn to think critically and apply logical reasoning.

Creativity and Innovation: STEM activities ignite creativity. Students design experiments, build models, and explore novel solutions. This fosters an innovative mindset, essential for future advancements.

Early Exposure to Technology: In our digital age, understanding technology is crucial. STEM introduces students to coding, robotics, and digital tools, preparing them for a tech-driven world.

Interdisciplinary Learning: STEM integrates science, math, and engineering. Students see connections between subjects, promoting holistic understanding and breaking down silos.

Career Readiness: STEM skills are in high demand across industries. Early exposure prepares students for future careers in fields like engineering, medicine, data science, and more.

Global Competitiveness: Nations with strong STEM education thrive economically. By nurturing STEM skills early, we empower our students to compete globally.

 

Students have access to educational technologies available to support STEM learning at our school, including 3D printers, Dash Dot robots, LEGO robotic kits, Mirco: bits, Code & Go robots, Pro Bots and numerous iPad learning apps. At OLR our STEM learning is cultivating critical thinkers, innovators, and future leaders, shaping a brighter tomorrow.​
