Moreover, the integration of curriculum concepts makes them more relatable for the children and stimulates critical thinking skills to foster readiness for deeper learning of such concepts in later years.

This workshop aims to equip teachers with such strategies and activities that can ensure STEM mode of learning in their classrooms.
