Summer of Innovation: STEAM learning activities for young minds

The summer break often raises concerns about maintaining the learning momentum also known as “summer slide”.? At Lodha Oakwood School,? we see it as an opportunity to rethink learning at home through exploration and discovery. We encourage parents to anchor their child's summer learning journey through fun STEAM-based activities that not only create lasting memories but also unlock a multitude of benefits for your child.

Unlocking the power of STEAM:

STEAM offers a dynamic approach to learning, equipping students with the tools they need to navigate the complexities and opportunities of our ever-evolving world. Hands-on experiments spark a love of learning, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a natural curiosity in young minds.?

• Unleash the Inner Scientist: Explore the fascinating world of chemistry using everyday ingredients found right in your kitchen! Try simple experiments such as growing Jack-o'-Lantern or salt separation experiments to spark curiosity one fun experiment at a time.?
• Challenge the Engineering Mind: Transform readily available materials into incredible creations! Build the tallest cup tower or Design a bridge to unleash your child’s inner engineer, encouraging critical thinking, designing and problem solving skills.
• Where Art Meets Math: Combine the concepts of maths and art to nurture your child’s creativity. Try Making a shape picture or symmetry art project with your child to identify the science behind the art.?
• Culinary Exploration: Transform baking cookies or decorating a cake into a delightful maths lesson. Exploring fractions & decimals, measuring ingredients, doubling recipes, and practicing fractions becomes an engaging way to develop essential skills.
