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.

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture.  It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are.  As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country.  They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them.  "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better.  It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences.    As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...
