 At Durham Islamic STEM Academy, we offer a STEM-integrated and high-impact education by leveraging the latest educational technologies in the Edtech industry.

Incorporating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into elementary education has become increasingly vital in preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century. By seamlessly integrating STEM concepts into the curriculum, our qualified educators provide students with a well-rounded education that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills from a young age.

LEGO, Minecraft Education, and Tinker are some of the STEM programs taught at DISA are excellent resources that complement and enhance STEM education in various ways:

1. LEGO Education: LEGO sets are not just toys; they are powerful educational tools that promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. LEGO Education offers a range of products tailored to different age groups and educational objectives. By building and programming LEGO robots, students learn about engineering principles, coding, and computational thinking in a hands-on, engaging manner. LEGO also encourages collaboration as students work together to design and construct complex structures or solve challenges.
2. Minecraft Education: Minecraft Education Edition leverages the popular video game to create immersive learning experiences across multiple subjects, including STEM. In Minecraft, students can design and build virtual worlds, allowing them to explore concepts such as architecture, urban planning, and environmental science. Teachers can create custom lessons or utilize pre-designed educational content to teach a wide range of STEM topics. Minecraft Education promotes creativity, spatial reasoning, and teamwork, making it an effective tool for engaging students in STEM learning.
3. Tinker Programs: Tinker programs offer hands-on, project-based learning experiences that encourage exploration and experimentation. These programs often provide students with access to a variety of tools, materials, and resources to create prototypes and solve real-world problems. Tinker programs may include activities such as building circuits, designing 3D models, or conducting science experiments. By engaging in tinkering activities, students develop critical thinking skills, resilience, and a growth mindset. Tinker programs foster creativity and innovation, preparing students for future careers in STEM fields.
