The Fabli is a STEM.org Authenticated™ Educational Product!
Technological advances and changing job market needs have highlighted the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills, often collectively referred to as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Integrating STEM approaches and products into children's education represents an educational revolution that prepares young minds for the challenges of the 21st century.
Defining the STEM approach and products
The STEM approach refers to educational methods that integrate the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an interdisciplinary manner. Rather than teaching these subjects separately, the STEM approach aims to combine them through hands-on projects and activities. For example, a STEM project might involve designing and building a bridge (engineering), using mathematical principles to ensure its stability and incorporating scientific concepts to understand the forces and materials involved.
STEM products, on the other hand, are tools and resources designed to facilitate the learning and exploration of STEM concepts. These products can include robotics kits, educational apps, building sets, portable science labs, and much more. These tools are often interactive and engaging, allowing children to learn through experimentation and play.
Benefits for Children
Cognitive and creative development
One of the main benefits of STEM approaches and products is cognitive development. STEM activities encourage children to think critically and analytically, solve complex problems, and make evidence-based decisions. In addition, they stimulate creativity by allowing children to explore and test different solutions to the problems they encounter.
21st Century Skills
21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, are essential in the modern world. STEM activities are designed to develop these skills. For example, learning to play a musical composition helps children develop their memory and logic, while solving technical problems develops their critical thinking and creativity. Moreover, early exposure to STEM concepts can spark an interest in science and technology careers. By learning about different categories of science, children can discover hidden passions and talents for specific fields. This can encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM fields, which are in high demand in the job market.
Self-directed learning and motivation
STEM products are often designed to be interactive and fun, motivating children to learn independently. Independent learning is a valuable skill because it encourages children to be curious and seek answers on their own, building their confidence in their abilities.
Solo engagement and strengthening bonds with parents
For parents, STEM products offer an opportunity to engage and participate in their children's independent education. But by working together on STEM projects, parents can strengthen family bonds and play an active role in their children's educational development. This also allows parents to better understand their children's interests and skills and support their learning.
Educational Value
STEM products represent a valuable educational investment. Unlike many traditional toys, STEM products are designed to be both fun and educational. They provide enriching learning experiences that can have a lasting impact on children's cognitive and emotional development.
The Fabli is the ideal STEM product!
La Fabli has been certified STEM.org Authenticated™ , which ensures that our interactive player meets the highest standards for educational content and learning value. This certification is a quality mark that assures parents that the product offers a true STEM learning experience.
We are very proud to be the first product designed in Quebec to have this certification!
Indeed, the Fabli is designed to be highly interactive, engaging children in a variety of educational and playful activities. It combines elements of play and learning, allowing children to develop STEM skills while having fun. Children can explore different scientific, technological, and mathematical concepts through interactive games and projects. For example, we offer language development games, music learning games, memory and logic games that contribute to the development of new cognitive skills and accelerate children's development. Interactive investigations develop critical thinking and creativity. In addition, collaborative activities encourage communication and teamwork. To order your Fabli, click here! Order your Fabli
