Oyla : An amazing magazine for kids on STEM
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM Education is so important because it touches upon our lives from all angles . The technological up gradations we see around us is due to the discoveries and inventions made by men and women from varied STEM fields. Whether its Smallpox vaccine or desktop computers, the world owes it to STEM. World is yet to see lot more advancements yet to be made and for that to happen younger generations must be trained appropriately.
It is important to invest in STEM education to ensure a future talent pipeline, it’s just as important to have a scientifically-literate population to understand why we need to do so. – Ron Mobed, CEO Elseveir
To build a strong STEM foundation, we need a well-rounded curriculum which does not just only look at formal way of learning, but focus on learning by observing and actively engaging in to understand the math, science, and technology throughout their educational career. The best time to start with STEM education is when students are very young, when their minds are filled with curiosity and always in a state to experiment.
So where to Start
Schools are already doing their part by motivating, engaging and providing real-world inspired activities to develop in kids an inquisitive nature. To help them transform into STEM masters. But then it does not stop at school. As parents we too can do our bit too.
The question that might come to your mind would be what will I do If I am not a STEM loving parent. You need not despair. You don’t need to teach your kids coding or share with them formula to create a new potion. You could simply get for them magazines rich with STEM content. These magazines will help kids to think and learn and keep their curiosity alive.
