STEM Lab Visit

STEM (Science , Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Land is learning center and resource center that Aura Auro is setting up in Udavi School,Auroville. From our school team of 20 students & 2 teachers visited the STEM Lab on 11.12.2016. We had met the STEM Lab Initiator Mr.Sanjeev Ranganathan who had passion in innovative teaching.  He said , The school uses theory of constructivism which says knowledge is not taught to a learner but recreated by the learner on his or her own,. It encourages learning by doing and discovery learning.

The STEM Lab encompasses a vast array of subjects that fall of subjects that fall into each of those  term.  STEM areas include engineering, astronomy, computer science,physics and robotics among many, many others.  As evidenced by the multitude of discipline, it is clear that STEM fields affect virtually every component of our everyday lives.

 The Lab equipped with more than 200 puzzles & Strategy games. The students get to use the Arduino technology an open source electronic prototyping platform to create interactive electronic objects. They are using FOSS(Free  & Open Source Software)  for programming(Scratch, Alice, Spider), 3D Animation(Blender).

 A Group of children  working in mathematics project using Scratch Programming. One of the child from IX standard She explained, how to understand the mathematical formula by using 3D Animation.

Children  had interaction with the teachers &  students. Students playing puzzles, solving rubik cube  & programming done  by using Scartch & Alice under the guidance of the volunteers from Auro Aura design. The Class IX  girl dreams of becoming a computer scientist, she says and wants to write a program which can  used for space research. Some of projects which was created by students

The resource centre is also adults to experiment and create at its “maker space” With a material room and building room..

This method of teaching will help for children to better level of understanding in a particular concept. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. Occupations in STEM-related careers are some of the fastest growing and best paid of the 21^st century, and they often have the greatest potential for job growth.
