- 13. How does this relate to STEM?
- 14. STEM Education in Hong Kong • According to EDB (2015, Dec): • We aim to further develop among students a strong knowledge base in step with the latest changes in these disciplines, and strengthen their ability to integrate and apply knowledge and skills, so as to nurture their creativity and innovation, collaboration and problem solving skills, which are essential skills and qualities required in the 21st century. The learning activities of STEM education also help students develop the essential qualities associated with an entrepreneurial spirit. • Should consider STEAM, Make and Design as well !!!!

In Pupils' Attitudes Towards Technology (PATT-19) Conference: Research on Technology, Innovation, Design & Engineering Teaching, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. • STEM + Arts • Arts - “ How society develops, impacts, is communicated and understood with its attitudes and customs in the past, present and future “ • Society, culture, belief, religion, politics, …
- 16. Design • Design is the competence to change existing situations into preferred ones. Design then, is the human capacity to serve the needs of people and give meaning to life through objects, communications, environments and systems John Heskett • Design is what links creativity and innovation. It shapes ideas to become practical and attractive propositions for users or customers. Design may be described as creativity deployed to a specific end. Sir George Cox • Design is about understanding users and finding elegant solutions to meet their needs
- 17. How to make? What can be made? What to make? Why to make? STEM, STEAM, Make and Design • Knowing possibilities with personal and digital fabrication technologies (strength and limitations with each ”technology”, what can be done by combining multiple of those) • Develop tacit knowledge in using different materials, tools, processes • Understanding “users”, identifying opportunities • Evaluate, identify issues and improve STEM/STEAM Design

- 27. Some Observations (in 2015) • Most HK people have no concept on a “fair” during which people share their works and knowledge • General impression - “Fair” is about selling things only • We have makers who are good at crafts and would like to apply technology, but don’t know how. We have makers who are good in technology, but don’t know how they can be used to create objects which are useful and appealing. • Many teachers have difficulties in understanding why they have to participate in Maker Faire • This is not a competition. Why join? What benefits? What they may gain? • Many teachers do not talk to those in different disciplines • Many teachers do not know what is “Design” (thought that it is only about making things prettier), and haven’t heard of “Design Thinking”
