3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #73, 30th November 2021

Our students need to be equipped with the knowledge and thinking ability for finding real world solutions to real world problems. STEAM – Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics. This integrated approach is the way to go starting with school education in the earliest years. Here are some tips for educators especially in Mya Țărmure’s talk.

Would love to hear how you have integrated it in your curriculum and teaching. Please subscribe to my weekly newsletter with you email id here.

Two Thoughts of the Week

” I have no hesitation in saying we need to add the letter A… an education devoid of arts… is empty, half-brain kind of education.” Howard Gardner. Harvard University education professor.

“I’m enough of an artist to draw freely on my imagination, which I think is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein.

One Video of the Week

Mya Țărmure started her talk by sharing a story from her childhood, when she wanted to sue her math teacher. That experience made her want to change education. Even though, nowadays, we have tablets and white boards in classes, kids are still taught as if they are all the same, as if they learn in the same way. We still believe science is just for boys, girls should go to ballet and piano classes. It’s all about the mindset and the education we give to our kids.

How can we better prepare them for the future? By offering an education that helps kids become independent, ready to find solutions for any challenge they might encounter. Her mission and passion is to prepare children for the future. She helps them step outside of their comfort zone through technology, robotics and programming classes. Her goal is to engage children in all kind of interconnected hands-on activities, based on STEAM methodology.

Before discovering her true meaning in life, she has been working in the digital environment for 8 years, managing products and communication campaigns for Fortune 500 companies.
