STEM Innovation
Project-based learning that combines science, technology, engineering and creativity to solve real problems.
Overview
What STEM Innovation Looks Like at DPE
Innovation is a skill that can be practised. Students identify real problems in their school or community, design solutions, build prototypes and present their ideas: the full journey from idea to invention.
Suitable for
- Primary 4 – JHS 2
