STEAM
Welcome to our STEAM programme, where creativity meets innovation. Our comprehensive programme integrates the core STEM subjects—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—with the artistic and creative elements of Art, fostering a holistic approach to learning.
As part of our STEAM programme, Carmel School students engage in hands-on robotics and coding projects, develop their skills through our annual multi-modal design challenge, and contribute to a more sustainable future through our plastic upcycling initiative. By combining technical skills with artistic vision, our students are empowered to become the next generation of thinkers, makers, and problem solvers, equipped to tackle the complex challenges of the 21st century.
- Design Challenge: Students from art and engineering classes collaborated to design sustainable housing models, combining aesthetic appeal with structural integrity.
- Robotics: From Kindergarten, students gain exposure to aspects of robotics, including using VEX and Lego Technics kits. At the Senior level, teams of students build and program robots, integrating coding skills with mechanical engineering principles, to compete in the prestigious FIRST Robotics Competition.
Benefits of Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
Enhanced Problem-Solving: Students develop a broader perspective and more effective problem-solving strategies through collaboration.
Preparation for Future Careers: By working across disciplines, students are better prepared for the interdisciplinary nature of many modern careers.
Robotics Programme Overview
Upcycled by Carmel
Our plastic upcycling programme is a cornerstone of our STEAM initiative, empowering students to creatively transform plastic waste into valuable products. By upcycling, we significantly reduce landfill waste and minimize greenhouse gas emissions associated with new plastic production. This programme not only fosters environmental awareness and responsibility but also contributes to the local economy by creating innovative, high-value products from discarded materials. Through hands-on projects, students develop essential skills in sustainability, design, and entrepreneurship, preparing them to make a positive impact on their communities and the environment.
