STEM Day: Problem Solving In The 4.0 Era - UTS

“STEM is learn to program, build robot”

“STEM is learn to program, build robot”

The biggest misconception about STEM Education is students are only fostered in science by learning to build robots and engineering technology but forget about social science knowledge. Some parents think robots are needed for children to learn STEM and learners need to be particularly interested in the devices, machines and tools.

 

The explosion of AI technology is also the “bait” that makes this misunderstanding more and more widespread, especially the expectation of parents for STEM Education that it will help children build programming foundation from the early stage.

Is STEM just about Technology?

Is STEM just about Technology?

If it is merely educating the “masters” of build robots or skillful code “players”, it is clear that STEM education is not a major for everyone, because assembly and programming are the playground of children who are left-brain thinkers, interested in natural subjects.

 

So is STEM education an obsession of art enthusiasts, inclined to think with the right brain? And does it take abilities and passion for technology to learn this subject?

“STEM Education is a type of education that guides you to learn how to learn on your own”

Professor Steven Chu, former U.S. Secretary of Energy, said at SUSTech University on Oct 16th,2016.

 

In fact, STEM Education is still being focused, especially in the most advanced education institutions in the world. So what exactly is the answer to the goal of STEM Education?
