What is STEM education and why is it important?

-


STEM is an abbreviation for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

STEM education is primarily concerned with a student’s scientific development starting from his or her early age, which would be fruitful during his or her profession.

It helps students keep pace with technology and innovation irrespective of economic or social background. 

During this education, students can explore different fields and identify their areas of expertise to excel in their careers.

Through STEM education, they could develop soft skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, creativity, etc.

Why is STEM Education Important?

●    According to the National Science Foundation, it is predicted that 80% of the jobs created in the next decade will require some form of mathematics and science skills. So, most professions require STEM knowledge (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). 

●      By drawing out the necessary abilities from students, STEM programs aid in developing more mature brains while making significant contributions to the nation.

●     Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are the fields that are considered to be the keystones of any advanced nation, and conquering these four is what will make us stronger as a nation.

●   Everything that we see today is majorly a result of these four. To make India stand on the list, it is vital to understand that advancement in the above four is a must.

How SimuLab app helps in STEM learning!

●  Nowadays companies such as Immersive Labz have introduced apps such as SimuLab which provides true immersive Virtual 3D science labs to science students.

●      Such products add value to schools, institutes, and students' lab learning experience.  

●      It plays a crucial role for the students who don’t have easy access to the science practical lab centers.

● Real-world examples like the one shown in the below screenshot paired with experiment topics make the experiments easier for students to comprehend.

 

● You can try and access the Simulab Android App on the Google Play store. Below is a glimpse of available simulations in the app:

  Generation Z , also known as Gen Z or iGeneration, are those born between the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s. As a generation that doesn’t know life without technology, they grew up in an internet-connected world. Especially when it comes to learning, they turn to different sources of information than their predecessors. They take that information and apply it in ways that Gen Xers and Millennials could only have imagined (at least, when they were students). Following are the points that describe how Gen Z is disrupting the traditional learning process: Collaborative Learning To this population, Google, social media and mobile devices are not just convenient tools — they’re necessary parts of life. Generation Z anticipates always having access to information and being online. Gen Z learners value social connections and are comfortable working in groups. They prefer collaborative learning environments that enable them to interact with their peers, share ideas, an...

  Medical field is one of the most highly popular verticals in education. Millions of students aspire to become a doctor, but only a handful get a chance to enroll themselves in medical colleges. On one hand, stiff competition makes life challenging for medical students. On the other hand, shortages of vital facilities hugely impact the quality of their training.   One such facility is ‘Cadaver’. Media circles have widely reported that ‘Shortages of Cadavers’ often affect the overall understanding of human anatomy. And if you ask any medical student or professor, you will find it is true. It is one of the most common challenges in medical education that most of the medical colleges face very often. With growing medical colleges, stricter regulations, and various other factors, getting cadavers has become a very challenging task. But how to solve this challenge is a big question. Let me reveal that now there is a solution to tackle this problem with ease. Immersiv...
