First of all, let’s know what is meant by Hands-on learning.
Hands-on learning is a way of educating students where they may apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations.
This experiential learning strategy has the following advantages:
- Compared to a typical educational method, it speeds up learning and makes it more effective and engaging for students.
- Through practical experiments, this method pushes students to apply their knowledge in new and creative ways.
- It also helps students identify the mistakes they make so they can fix them then and there only.
- It helps students learn outside the classroom; it improves their communication skills, teaches them time management techniques, and teaches them how to interact and communicate with others when studying, working on projects, or participating in group activities.
- It teaches students how theoretical knowledge relates to practical applications.
- It plays a role in the development of 21st-century abilities such as creativity,
collaboration, problem-solving abilities, leadership qualities, and critical thinking.
- It provides an in-depth understanding of the STEM subjects (mathematics, science, technology, engineering).
- This method of teaching offers students the possibility to engage in various experiential learning activities with the chance to win prizes.
- Practical learning aims to build lifelong skills in addition to academic knowledge.
Now, let’s see how this Approach to Hands-On Learning is different from the Traditional education system:
· Traditional education system was just based on learning the concepts by the method of rote memorization, this is not an effective learning method as students are not able to memorize the concepts for a longer time
But through the Hands-on learning approach the students get to apply the knowledge in the real world and be able to learn the concepts for a longer time.
· Traditional teaching methods only include following a predetermined curriculum but through this modern approach, teachers help students acquire other abilities rather than just focusing on teaching the theoretical syllabus.
Modern classrooms include modern technologies like Smart Board which enables students to visualize things in real life for example if a student learned a concept of science such as how fish lay eggs just by reading by reading about it once or twice but on the other hand if he gets to watch that situation on smart board then it will make them learn more effectively.
Similarly, if a student wants to memorize any mathematical formula, we make him understand from where this formula is derived so that he can make that formula on its own
All these reasons make modern classrooms more effective than traditional classrooms.
Now, Let’s understand how STEMROBO helps in providing a hands-on learning approach
One of India’s top providers of STEM education is STEMROBO.
We provide a platform where students can learn through experiential education. To this end, we offer a variety of labs and curriculums, including AI/Robotics, AR/VR Lab setup , and STEM labs, where students can put the knowledge they have learned in the classroom to use and see how it is applied in real-world situations. How scientific knowledge is employed in the actual world to create practical applications? For instance, if a student has learned the theory behind how a bulb glows in a classroom, he can now apply that knowledge in our robotics lab by using it to light a bulb on his own. We also supply robotic kits to labs so that students may acquire everything in one place. This will help the student retain the knowledge and comprehend it more effectively. Students learn teamwork Since the employment market will demand it from them in the future. Working on real-world projects allows you to use the knowledge you gain in real-world situations, which goes beyond just studying.
Safety is our top priority so for that we provide a well-organized lab with all the necessary safety precautions.
STEMROBO provides students with End-to-end solutions regardless of their location background or education stream. Our platform enables k-12 students to explore, experience, and innovate through STEAM, AI, Robotics Lab, and Coding curriculums
By using this method of education, we help students become more creative and engaged learners. Additionally, students get a solid foundation in STEM subjects through practical experience.
So, this way of educating students through Hands-on learning makes modern classrooms more engaging and effective than traditional classrooms.
