STEM Week


ASK

How can we build a sustainable city for the future?

Focus: Urban Farming



PLAN 

What can we do? 

The students meticulously designed their lay-out adding specific details they imagined future Urban Farming would look like. 

 

 They explained their ideas to the class. The way each group explained it was very impressive. 


Absolutely — there's so much promise in the hands of young learners. When they engage with concepts like urban farming through future-focused thinking, they're not just growing food — they're cultivating innovation, resilience, and sustainability. 


It's powerful to imagine a generation that sees technology and nature not as opposites, but as partners in creating a better world.



CREATE

So what have they innovated?

A robot-controlled solar-powered, vertical farm installed inside a skyscraper. Flying cars and drones for crop care (watering, fertilizing, planting, harvesting, and delivering). 







  • Drone-assisted, flying cars for watering, fertilizing, harvesting etc.

  • A Super Machine inside a greenhouse with self-functioning machinery following the planting process

  • Robotic / Machine operated composting 

  • Integration with urban food delivery drones or flying cars and smart fridges

  • Vegetables/Fruits and all sorts of greens growing outside the buildings

  • Giant Sunflower - That supplies light for photosynthesis


STEM Week for preschoolers can be incredibly impactful, even at such an early age. While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) may sound complex, introducing its concepts through play and exploration develops problem-solving skills, builds curiousity and love for learning and boosts creativity and imagination.

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled. The place where mom and dad are from The place where both their grandparents are from. The Preschoolers gained basic information about what a map is for, importance of a m...
