STEM Unplugged | Hands-On Learning in a Digital World | Ep. 1


Listen Later

In an increasingly digital world, how do we keep the magic of hands-on STEM learning alive? In Episode 1 of our mini-podcast series leading up to the STEM Learning Conference in Dubai this February, we explore the power of "unplugged" STEM activities to strike the perfect balance between screens and hands-on experimentation.

Join host Alex Gray as he chats with Alex Moore from STEM Learning, UK, about:
➡️ The role of tactile, practical activities in science, computing, and mathematics.
➡️ Real-world examples of unplugged learning, from robotics and drones to physical experiments.
➡️ Why hands-on methods sometimes outperform digital tools in helping students grasp challenging concepts.
➡️ The importance of problem-solving, collaboration, and interdisciplinary approaches to tackle "wicked problems" like climate change and technology integration.
