Pythagoras School STEAM Lab

Raising Funds to Create Pythagoras STEAM Lab

We are reaching out from Pythagoras Schools to fundraise for our students' new STEAM Lab.

Why are we looking to build a dedicated STEAM LAB?

As many of you know, Pythagoras has been incorporating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) into its curriculum for a couple of years, and it's been a great success. STEAM has several benefits across the education range, and building a STEAM lab will help us further drive our goal of providing top-tier education to our students. We are looking for families to come forward and help make this a possibility this year. We can do anything when we come together for our children.

Below are some examples of the benefits of STEAM education and how a dedicated lab will benefit our students.

~~~What is needed and how we will spend the donations: What We Need~~~

1. Makes learning fun and interesting

A STEAM lab for kids adds ‘Arts’ to the traditional ‘Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math program. These creative projects will make learning more fun. Through this innovative learning approach, children will develop a love for learning subjects like engineering, coding, robotics, biology, and chemistry. With a STEAM lab, kids get a dedicated maker space where they can explore and learn.

2. Combines technical and artistic approaches seamlessly

A STEAM lab for kids ensures students understand the fundamental academic principles and concepts while exploring various artistic and creative approaches to solving real-world problems. The goal is to encourage kids to be more innovative and add their personal touch to every project.

3. Encourages independent thinking

Kids develop teamwork and collaboration skills while learning to practice independent thinking. They can learn at their own pace. Teachers allow various ideas to flow, making more room for critical thinking and fostering curiosity. This also reinforces the idea that committing mistakes and failures can be productive and that such errors can bring them closer to the best solutions to a problem.

4. Prepare them for the future

A STEAM lab for kids equips them with future-ready skills—not just technical abilities that they can use at work but also life skills that can help them navigate challenging life situations. Kids can learn essential skills in a STEAM lab: critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy, leadership, and flexibility.

Thank You!

If you've made it this far and decided to donate (no matter the amount) towards improving the education of these children, we extend a heartfelt thank you for your generosity.
