SAM LABS help encourage STEAM Education in UAE

 
Presently, companies are looking to recruit employees with embedded soft skills and knowledge rather than the book-learned.

With an unpredictable technological future, company requirements for hiring are an unknown factor.

STEM and STEAM are both educational philosophies that embrace teaching skills and subjects in a way that resembles real life.

They integrate and combines the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics to help develop creativity, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, analytical skills, soft skills and other talents to build future innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs.

The Difference between STEAM and STEM

The addition of Arts to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to incorporate creative thinking in applied sciences is what sets apart STEAM from STEM.

Though both use the concept of creativity in science, STEM explicitly focuses on science concepts while STEAM investigates these concepts by making new connections through inquiry and problem- solving.

For example, architecture combines science and art to build strong, visually appealing foundational structures.

The Need for STEAM Education in the UAE

With technology, facts and figures are available at one’s fingertips; this impacts the current education system, which replaces the traditional method of memorizing with active learning.

The UAE’s ‘s Ministry of Education (MoE) has already highlighted the importance of providing quality education to its students with the Education 2020 strategy.

However, quality education is expensive. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have helped initiate STEM implementation in private schools at an affordable cost to help create a knowledge- based hub.
