STEM Learning Made Fun at Snapology & LEGO Set Giveaway

If you have a child in school, you are probably familiar with the acronym STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. The importance and necessity of STEM education have been widely acknowledged among parents, teachers and education experts, for STEM is closely linked to every aspect of modern life while STEM education helps develop transferable skills that are essential in both STEM and non-STEM fields, such as creativity, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and data analysis. Due to the complexity and difficulty of STEM subjects, there is a misconception that STEM learning is intimidating and frustrating. In fact, however, STEM learning can be nothing but fun and can be accomplished through various activities, including PLAY!

STEM Learning Through Toys
Making learning fun and enjoyable is the key to nurturing the love for knowledge. The number of educational toys that promote STEM-related skills is on the rise. You may already own such toys without realizing their connection to STEM education. Well loved by both boys and girls, LEGO bricks are known to stimulate creativity, spatial thinking, problem solving and teamwork. There are also STEM certified toys that are specifically designed to integrate play with STEM learning.

STEM Learning Through Books
Wouldn't it be great to encourage your child to fall in love with reading and STEM learning at the same time? Luckily, there are quite a few well-written books that teach STEM subjects in fun and engaging ways for students at different stages of learning. Some of our favorites include the Magic School Bus series, the Little Scientists books, and DK's awarding-winning new release Maker Lab.

STEM Learning Through Hands-on Activities
Children learn fast and best through hands-on activities. You can try to come up with DIY projects at home or send your kids to more structured STEM programs like those being offered at Snapology.
