STEAM and STEM Workshops Explained

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It’s a revolutionary approach to introducing these subjects to scholars in a practical way beyond the textbook to prepare them for careers in these advancing fields. As job roles are changing, educators have noticed a need for more soft skills and holistic capabilities such as teamwork and creative thinking, which is why the arts was added to the mix, leading to STEAM education – science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

The Sonic Kitchen incorporates STEAM into STEM activities to motivate our young participants to apply a range of modern creative skills, from new media, design, writing and more. This leads to well-rounded individuals who will one day be able to confidently secure STEM jobs in our ever-changing, digitally evolving world. Our workshops are hands-on and led by education experts to rejuvenate the senses and get young minds excited about how the world works and how to innovate their own solutions using science, maths and tech in a fun way.

Our Principles

Belief

Belief is far more than intellectual understanding; it also involves a deep commitment.

Free will, fun and control are vital, but without belief, the fire can quickly burn out.

We always encourage self-belief, trying to help the children reach outside themselves to realise their immeasurable potential.

It is only then that they can be true explorers.

Fun

Fun is all about the unexpected change.

It involves the freedom to choose and a measure of predictability.

Then the unexpected event that comes out of the blue gives you an emotional kick—the element of surprise.

The natural next step is to chase it, do it again, and control it.

This gives you a nice burst of energy, connects knowledge to a feeling, and strengthens your memories.

Free Will

Free will is the ability to choose.

However, history has shown that free will must be governed by values and tempered with insight.

With every lesson, we always present a variety to the children due to their diverse backgrounds and dispositions.

Each child will approach things in a slightly different way, showing their uniqueness and growth potential.

Control

Control is all about intended change.

Learning how things work and it’s change potential, then you include that knowledge into your decisions.

When we see this, there is a sense of ownership displayed that allows the user to be confident and feel secure.

Control is a vital ingredient in learning, making goals, achieving goals, and our overall well-being.
