The Faces of Innovation at Kids Tinkering Studio. At Kids Tinkering Studio, we believe that innovation begins with people—the passionate educators who inspire, motivate, and guide our students to dream big and think boldly. Today, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our brightest stars: Ms. Esther Archer, our Grade 2 facilitator. Ms. Archer is more than a teacher; she’s a builder of futures, a champion of creativity, and an unwavering advocate for her students’ potential. Her classroom isn’t just a space for learning—it’s a launchpad for curiosity and innovation. Whether she’s turning simple experiments into awe-inspiring lessons or encouraging her students to ask “why” and “what if,” Ms. Archer brings her passion for STEM education to life every single day. Here’s what she says about her role: “I don’t just teach STEM; I live it. Every lesson is an opportunity to show my students that they can solve problems, make discoveries, and change the world.” It’s educators like Ms. Archer who make KTS more than a school—it’s a community where young minds are empowered to become tomorrow’s leaders. Now it’s your turn! Tag someone you know who is passionate about STEM education. Let’s celebrate the incredible people who are shaping the future, one student at a time! #InnovationInEducation #STEMLeadership #FutureMinds #KidsTinkeringStudio #EducationMatters #stemeducationtrinidad

During summer vacation and during the first few weeks of school, it's can be difficult to keep students connected to and focused on learning. In this new VEX PD+ Insights article, we discuss ways to help students make connections between real-world experiences they may have had over their summer vacation and STEM learning. 📖 Give it a read here: https://buff.ly/4d1WNti

Why STEM Matters in Education STEM education is more than just science, technology, engineering, and math—it’s about preparing young minds for a world that’s constantly evolving. Through STEM, students learn to think critically, solve problems creatively, and adapt to new challenges. These skills aren’t just important for academic success; they’re essential for navigating real-life situations, building resilience, and fostering curiosity. At Griddly, we’re committed to making STEM exciting and accessible for all. Our “Just Add” Kits allow kids to dive into hands-on experiments that turn everyday items into tools for exploration. From discovering chemical reactions to experimenting with physics, each kit inspires curiosity and shows kids the fun side of learning. Ready to bring the magic of STEM into your home or classroom? Discover Griddly’s products and help us inspire the next generation of thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers! #STEMEducation #GriddlyKids #HandsOnLearning #InspireCuriosity #ExploreSTEM

#fridayvibes Did you know that the word “electron” or ēlektron is Greek for amber? And the Amber effect, one of the earliest known electrostatic effects, dates back to as early as 585 BC, even though the electrons themselves were not known to exist at the time! Imagine introducing a “drab” concept like electrostatics to students through a story that goes back over two millennia. Be it the discussion of the Amber effect, busting the myths surrounding Benjamin Franklin's kite and key experiment, or building electroscopes from scratch to measure electrostatic charges, the learning process should be designed to captivate students’ attention and ignite their interest in subjects traditionally viewed as "tough or boring". The discussions must transcend the final formula required to score in exams, and the outcomes should be more than factual knowledge but a deep understanding of the phenomenon. The result? Students with a keen interest and understanding of the subject, ultimately growing up to be people who are able to think for themselves and apply their knowledge to explore the unknown. By weaving engaging stories, hands-on experiments, and real-world applications into our curriculum, we need to transform challenging subjects into exciting adventures. At STEMonsters Education, we are looking to partner with schools that share our belief in curiosity-driven learning. Together, we can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. Our hands-on science and technology learning programs can be implemented during the school hours in a hybrid manner through our comprehensive curriculum for the teachers. Key highlights: •⁠ ⁠The program can be integrated with the existing curriculum with just 1 hour per week for every grade, during school hours. •⁠ ⁠The program can be implemented by the teachers through our comprehensive curriculum and teacher training. •⁠ ⁠Designed with a deep focus on engagement among students and application-oriented learning. Join us in transforming STEM education and making learning an engaging and self-driven adventure.
