About Us

Our strength in the Field of STEM studies

Our Principles

We ensure our team is up-to-date with the latest major discoveries in the STEM field and rigorously follow the established principles[1] when we design our STEM kits.

A Focus on integration

Connects concepts that seem unrelated to students.

Establishing Relevance

It is our job as educators to explain why the knowledge and skills learnt are useful. Why should students care? It is easy to explain relevance when students are given real-world problems, current event situations, or any appealing event.

Development of 21st Century Skills

The work place where our students will enter in the future requires a workforce that can do the following:
a. Leanring skills: Critical thinking and collaboration
b. Literacy Skills: Information, media, and technology
c. Interpersonal skills: Leadership, initiative and productivity

Empowerment and motivation of students through a Growth Mindset

Engagement through Active Learning

a. Problem-based Approaches
Critical thinking and collaboration
Students are given a problem to design creative solutions for problem-based approaches.
b. Project-based Approaches
Critical thinking and collaboration
Students are given options and how to produce products, or develop solutions that demonstrate their learning, as well as having a voice in the way they are evaluated.

Problem-centered Curriculum, Inquiry-based Learning

We are adept in providing a systematic science curriculum accompanied with our STEM kits containing Hands-on/Minds-on Science materials to empower students to pursue challenging subjects.

Every STEM kit is based on Problem-centered Curriculum Design (PCD) aligned with the Ontario Curriculum expectations and the American Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Inquiry-Based learning (IBL) is the approach we adopt in both the design of the STEM kits and the delivery of our lessons.

Why student led inquiry? Why now?

If we are only teaching what we know, our children can only do as bad as we are doing, and this is the challenge we are facing – we have to go beyond it.

Inquiry-Based Learning Approach[2]

places students’ questions, ideas and observations at the center of the learning experience.

Ideas are respectfully challenged, tested, redefined and viewed as improvable.

Moving children from a position of wondering to a position of understanding and questioning.

Both educators and students share responsibility for learning.
