My Project
Learning through play is a powerful approach that fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in children. By engaging in hands-on activities, students develop problem-solving skills, collaboration, and resilience—key traits for success in the 21st century. Incorporating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) activities into play-based learning further enhances these benefits by encouraging exploration, experimentation, and innovation. Whether building structures, coding simple programs, or conducting science experiments, children gain a deeper understanding of concepts while having fun. Play-based STEM learning not only makes education more engaging but also helps students build confidence in their abilities, setting a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
