STEAM Learning

STEAM at Springdale International School is an engaging interdisciplinary approach that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering/entrepreneurship, arts, and mathematics. Unlike traditional teaching models where these subjects are taught independently, STEAM helps our students make connections across subject areas as they invent, analyze and explore concepts. This mode of learning is motivating and engaging because it is relevant and relates to the real world.

Our student-centered, inquiry-based approach ensures that teamwork and communication are a major focus in STEAM activities. Our students have the freedom to think critically, creatively, and innovatively as we challenge them to find solutions to problems. Even if they fail the first time, they are inspired to try again in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Springdale International School is the first school in Dhaka to have a total of 4 STEAM labs and Makerspaces just in the Elementary school.

Our STEAM maker spaces are spaces that encourage the sharing of resources and knowledge and learning through hands-on exploration. Our makerspaces are part lab, part shop, part conference room, and are designed to foster a culture of teamwork, collaboration and design thinking. In these spaces, our students build and work on projects together, using equipment that is both traditional (wooden blocks and sewing machines) and cutting edge (makerbot 3D printers, coding robots).
