My Project
Enhancing Academic Performance and Critical Thinking:
Research has shown that when students actively participate in their learning process, they are more likely to retain information and develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
This approach not only enhances academic performance but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for success in STEM fields. Moreover, hands-on STEM education helps to dismantle stereotypes that suggest these subjects are inherently male-dominated. By investing in such educational initiatives, we can cultivate a generation of girls who are not only proficient in STEM but also enthusiastic advocates for gender equality within these disciplines.
Students will be able to learn valuable STEM skills with a hands-on approach to explore and think "how things can be created and work to perform an outcome" by using tangible products. With these skills and experiences, students will have a much deeper and personal understanding of how STEM can improve their lives, innovation can challenge the limits and inspire girls and boys to equally think critically.
