Legacy International is an early childhood education that integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with an experiential learning curriculum. This allows children to gain academic skills to practical real-world applications, as well as develop creative and innovative approaches to solving challenges they are faced with.
Why STEM and experiential learning? A STEM and experiential learning education stimulate innovation, creativity, exploration, discovery, critical thinking as well as problem solving skills, resulting in a well-rounded child. Through STEM and experiential learning children become autonomous thinkers. Moreover, this learning style equip children with the necessary skills to navigate the world around them. Children being able to draw their own conclusions on different subject matters is the best way children learn and develop. How it works The famous children’s tale of Humpty Dumpty can have an applicational value through a STEM lens by encouraging insightful and thought-provoking discussions among the students.
● Read the story and ask thought-provoking questions such as “Why do you think Humpty Dumpty fell?” (Language Arts) ● How fast did Humpty Dumpty fall? (Science/ Math) ● In small groups work on designing a Humpty Dumpty that will not break if it fell. (Engineering) ● Use a variety of tools and material to construct this new Humpty Dumpty. (Technology) ● Test the durability of the various Humpty Dumpty created different height levels. (Science/ Math) ● Chart the outcomes of the durability testing and compare the results. (Math) ● Discuss and formulate a new story using the children’s ideas. (Language Arts).
