What is STEM?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It encourages pupils to think outside the box. At BSS, we believe that that discovery is often found where different subjects overlap and develop the skills we believe will help create successful 21st Century citizens – flexibility, critical thinking, creativity, and communication. The opportunities of tomorrow may not have yet been realised. Science and technology continue to move rapidly and we, want to develop the skills your child needs to succeed in the 21st century.
STEM at BSS
Traditionally, Science and technology are taught separately. At BSS, pupils are encouraged to make connections between the different subjects and use the transferable skills they discover.
By integrating these elements, students are able to make connections, transfer knowledge and be innovative in their thinking.
BSS implemented Mental Maths in the curriculum. Why is this innovative method of teaching Maths so important and why we have decided to start teaching it?

Robotics
Robotics is also a part of the STEM curriculum. Robotics involves creativity, programming skills, teamwork and a lot of fun. This subject fosters children's creativity and eagerness to try new things.
Lego and Design
At BSS we strive to deliver playful learning experiences that bring subjects to life in the classroom and make learning fun and impactful. That is why we offer LEGO learning as a part of our Design and Technology curriculum. It is offered in Kindergarten and Grades 1 -3 (Primary 1). LEGO learning inspires interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Lessons are engaging and provoke engineering thinking and early education in Math, Technology and Science.
