The unique factor that connects design thinking to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is PROBLEM FINDING. . We are betting that by allowing Scholars/Educators to be risk-takers, to redefine failure, to collaborate, and deeply think will actually better prepare them for assessments than traditional models of learning. . We want them to be thinkers. When they apply design thinking, they empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test — to design and build their own bridges. . WE LOVE OUR EDUCATORS! . #educatortraining #stemimakersafrica #STEMingforAfrica #technology #technovation #innovation #ideas #teachbetter #teaching #studentsinstem #empathy #designthinking #photography #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ibbSvFhl7/?igshid=17pghhpga3z

How can we thank Mrs. Omowale Ogunrinde, the Executive Director of @fsd2003 enough? . She took Educators through Capacity Building and Professional Development for today's economy. . She encouraged them to live in the future and not in the now because the present-day students are more tech-savvy and science inclined than Educators. . What an exhilarating time with her! . #educatortraining #education #STEMingforAfrica #stemintegration #STEMiEducators19 #capacitybuilding #professionaldevelopment #stemcareers #usconsulatelagos #technews #teachbetter #teachers https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gVynPhB75/?igshid=13ja59tev9f05

IT'S CLUE TIME!! ...so you may be wondering how project-based Learning relates to STEM. . Too often, traditional learning never ventures beyond the realm of the purely academic. Project-based learning and STEM (Integrated learning) connects students to the real world. PBL prepares students to accept and meet challenges in the real world, mirroring what professionals do every day. . In short, if we are to prepare students for success in life, we need to prepare them for a project-based world. Project-based learning takes the essential characteristics of what we value most about education and puts them front and center of our formal learning environments. It is a popular and noble aspiration for educators to inspire and develop life-long learners. Undeniably, PBL helps prepare students for the “real world” since that is naturally where their learning occurs. . So, what project will you be diving into today? . #pbl #STEM #scienceteacher #STEMingforAfrica #STEMiEducators19 #technews #technology #engineeringteam #coding #innovation #designthinking #program #educatortraining #teachbetter #stemwomen #womeninstem #educatorsinSTEM #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SmhDelucT/?igshid=ovrmo559l57j

In India, teachers were anciently called "Gurus". . When you study great teachers, you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style. . William Arthur Ward said: "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." . To our wonderful Teachers, we celebrate them for being an inspiration to the world. . #teachersday #teaching #happyteachersday #celebration #STEMingforAfrica #STEMeducation #education #learning #impact https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ipybWha48/?igshid=v0lze5z9rj3z
