STEAM
STEAM explores Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths and encourages children to develop critical thinking and analysis, skills which are fundamental to their future learning and development. STEAM aims to foster a recognition and understanding of the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths.
Here in Scoil Mhuire Lacken, we aim to provide children from Junior Infants, not only with traditional and proven methods of Education but through their exposure to STEAM. We also aim to provide the foundations for life long learning, a thirst for curiosity for understanding and innovation and to encourage children to explore creative thinking, digital literacy, computational thinking and problem solving. Skills that will form the foundation of their education from childhood and extend and expand into life long learning and personal development. STEAM education involves hands on learning while using the most update technology.
Our Primary school Curriculum offers a plethora of opportunities to integrate STEAM into our daily Educational activities. We integrate STEAM into our curriculum, on a weekly basis, as each class is allocated a time to engage in STEAM Activities.
