SCIENCE , TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS & MATHS What is STEAM? STEAM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in five specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the five disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEAM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. VISION To set up a STEAM and innovation center in every community in Africa MISSION To transform the minds of young change makers through STEAM as an educational approach to learning for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
ABOUT US Steam Africa Initiative is a Non-Profit organisation born out of the need to add value to the educational sector in Nigeria and Africa in Children and Youths between the ages of 3-18 through STEAM based curriculum. STEAM is critical for the future. The world needs critical thinkers, doers , and problem solvers. The world need kids who understand science , who can adapt to the latest technology and engineer new solutions to solve problems of all sizes. STEAM creates inventors, innovators and leaders. An evolution has to take place in our educational system to transform our Nation from a consuming economy to an industrialised producing economy. These are skills that need to be imbibed from the foundation so we can get rid of the entitlement mentality by understanding the Science Technology Engineering Art and Maths behind everything we do and how it all comes together. The cars, phones, buildings, fans, television sets , the food we eat, our clothes everything is infused under STEAM, it surrounds us everyday.
