STEAM Learning
Science | Technology | Engineering | Arts | Mathematics
STEAM learning is beginning to play a significant role in our children’s development. By combining science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics, our children start to develop different ways of thinking and may become our innovators of tomorrow.
STEAM learning allows for flexibility in the development of a child’s methods of reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity.
Pacific Learners is passionate about increasing Pacific participation in STEAM related subjects. In doing so, our children can start to think about their future directions, whether it be in engineering, science, design and development, technology or other related industries.
In this series of videos, we provide educational video content from the point of view of our children. All videos have a Pacific flavour where we integrate humour, Pacific language, and cultural references.
What is STEAM Learning ?
1. Science
Imagine what is possible, then prove it can be done. Science opens up a world of opportunities
2. Technology
Technology gives you the ability to turn what is imagined into reality
3. Engineering
Bringing to life concepts, ideas and intentions.
4. Arts
Imagine, create and design. The foundations of intelligent product development.
5. Mathematics
Using reason, formulas and logic to create solutions for a better tomorrow
What is STEAM learning ?
In this video, we introduce you to STEAM learning and answer questions like, what is STEAM learning ?, what does STEAM stand for and how can STEAM learning benefit our children ?
Pacific peoples have always been innovators, scientists, engineers, artists and the list goes on, so it is important we encourage our children into STEAM industries to carry on our ancestors legacy into the future.
What is renewable energy ?
In this video, we highlight different renewable energy systems such as solar, hydro, wind and thermal energy. The video also contains Tongan translations of key words.
Renewable energy is often known as clean energy, and comes from natural sources that are plentiful and constantly replenished.
How rockets work
Having a basic understanding of how rockets work allows you to dream what is possible. Aerospace engineering utilises all the subjects of STEAM education, science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics all play a major role in making what was impossible, now possible.
This video gives you a very basic understanding of how a rocket works, and how it can blast off into space.
