The 21st century has been full of promise as technology continues to develop rapidly. Given the advancement of automation and robotics, it is a sound investment to equip your child with the knowledge that can help them acquire the necessary life skills to succeed in the modern world, a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on technology.
This is also backed by the Ministry of Education, where emphasis has been placed on STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) education in recent years.
This also means that everything that we do is affected and influenced by technology, an area that the Singapore government has been putting more focus in. Be it jobs or school, or even everyday tasks such as shopping or research, these activities have now become intertwined with some form of technology. Imagine living without computers or smartphones, now that would be strange.
This is also why in this digital era, one cannot underestimate the importance of robotics. While robotics has become an essential part of everyday life, it also means that this sector has great untapped potential which signals a promising sign of excellent career prospects for kids trained in STEM learning. In general, the number of traditional industries that rely on automation and robotics is expected to expand as well with industries such as logistics and manufacturing adopting robots to minimise cost-inefficiencies and maximise productivity.
This has also led to the increasing popularity of robotics courses for kids, and as a parent or guardian, it’s essential that your child is exposed to the basics.
Here are factors to consider when choosing a kids’ robotics course:
In the real world, robotics is a challenging subject to tackle. However, in a classroom setting, children are taught at a pace that they can manage and learn effectively.
Due to its hands-on nature, robotics classes are designed to teach children a myriad of creative ways that they can come up with to make their robots work.
Compared to lecture-based classes, kids get to learn better when their robotics classes are hands-on. This is why it’s important to ensure that you enrol your kid in a robotics course focused on hands-on learning.
When selecting the right robotics course for your child, it goes without saying that you should pick a reputable centre that puts your child’s learning first. Reputation is certainly important, and you can spot that with the reviews from parents, which are testimonials of how they’ve seen their children develop and hone their skills through effective learning.
Accreditation is also a key factor for an institution’s reputation. Being accredited by organisations such as STEM.org not only adds prestige and credibility to the courses offered and the quality of education, but it also shows the high standard of learning for those who are enrolled there.
An effective coding and robotics curriculum is able to help students master essential skills including creativity, technology literacy, critical thinking, communication, problem-solving and teamwork.
STEM Genius, for instance, offers a curriculum that is designed to help students of different ages to learn and develop their talents for robotics. You can choose from our weekly robotics classes for ages 4 to 5 or 6 to 11 that offer immersive learning experiences to make sure your child gets the right education to future-proof their learning.
STEM Genius is run by a group of committed professionals with a mission to deliver quality STEM education. This is done via an interactive pedagogy with the aid of virtual and augmented reality programmes, and accreditation. Our institution’s classes are based on the Stanford D School framework, which focuses on design thinking for creative problem-solving.
