Supported by the NCR Foundation, STEM in Innovation: Pioneers of Progress is a remote project-based learning programme that dives into the evolution of instant communication, including its fascinating history, its significant impact on our everyday lives, and what could be in store in the near future.
With STEM at its heart, the programme reveals the many skills required to design, build, and distribute the devices and programs we use daily to communicate. As well as STEM competencies, meta-skills such as adaptiveness, collaboration, curiosity, and creativity are also key components of the programme.
The project is aimed at S1 and S2 pupils and is available to teachers of any subject throughout the school year for free. Incorporating interactive challenges pupils are encouraged to approach challenges creatively, drawing on their communication, research, data analysis and project management skills to solve problems with novel ideas and strategic thinking.
