Preparing students for future learning and STEM-related careers can be a difficult task. If you’re trying to give your students the boost they need for a STEM-powered future, the following ideas can help you maximize their 21st-century skills.

While educators in STEM prepare students to meet the challenges of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, they face their own challenges of working in STEM education.

In a modern, fast-paced world, science has become an inseparable part of our daily lives. With an increasing demand to absorb a great amount of new information every day, introducing STEM into your classroom becomes essential.

It’s no secret that children learn differently. Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, some are kinesthetic learners, some prefer reading and writing, and some are tactile learners. What may be a secret, however, is that tactile learning is beneficial for all types of learners during the early childhood years and beyond. Tactile learning, or hands-on learning, is just what its name implies -- learning by doing. Children are always touching things -- it’s the main way they learn, explore and play. So, what makes tactile learning so beneficial? Well, there are a few things that children gain through hands-on learning.

Inspire a love of STEM in your children by making learning fun. When students enjoy their learning process, they are more likely to want to keep on learning and exploring the world around them. By introducing your child to these exciting STEM activities, you help foster a love of learning and an interest in the way the world works. 

Before its nemesis, the disastrous iceberg struck the Titanic, the impressive ocean liner was the engineering marvel of the 20th century. At PARAMETRIC STUDIO INC., we believe in nurturing the engineers of tomorrow with the knowledge of yesterday. Let's dive into just what innovative work the engineers behind RMC Titanic created and how it made it possible for the largest ship of its time to stay afloat.

Sitting between its natural abutments – the parts of the canyon between which the dam is constructed – the Hoover Dam is made from stacked, interlocking sections of concrete in a structure that stands 726 feet tall and is 660 feet thick at its base. This made Hoover Dam the largest manmade structure to have ever been built at this time.
