STEMania! is a live in-school educational theatre presentation to celebrate National Science Week 2018 and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) with a particular focus on the 2018 Schools Theme Game Changers and Change Makers.
Using action packed sketches, appealing characters, comedy, high energy and audience interaction to explore these four key educational points:
Science: By applying the scientific method to a cricket game, this sketch shows how science is all about asking questions
Technology: An inventive schoolkid inventor shows that technology involves creativity and innovation –making a link between an idea and physical objects to build solutions to everyday problems
Engineering: While designing a new car, an engineer solves complex problems through artistry, testing and the implementation of trial and error
Maths: Walking through a ‘day in the life’ of a student from the audience, the performers illustrate that we use maths every day!
In preparation for our school events next week, Year 10 were treated to STEMania performance as an early celebration to the National Science week (11th-19th of August). Students really enjoyed every element in the event.
They showed an impressive level of engagement throughout this fun filled non-stop educational performance. Indeed, all students were participating, laughing, learning and discussing the uses of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths in everyday situations.
