The rationale of this project comes from the suggestions stated in the “Ongoing Renewal of the School Curriculum: Briefing Session on Updating of Technology Education Key Learning Area Curriculum Guide (2017)” (May 2017) released by the Education Bureau.  The main points include:

- TE KLA Curriculum Guide

- Holistic Curriculum Development in the TE KLA

- Support Measures for Planning, Learning and Teaching the TE Curricula

We will review and modify the school-based junior secondary Technology, Mathematics, Science, and Arts Education curricula. Learning activities, such as robotics programming, Digital Drawing, 3D design & printing, interdisciplinary applications in STEAM: HE/VA/Music/IS and Arduino & Scientific investigations, will be organised for different grades of junior secondary level, with a view to enriching their learning experiences. The students will be encouraged to apply the knowledge and skills they have learnt to solve some real-life problems. Our school also plans to organise some training activities for teachers to enhance their professional capacity in designing and implementing STEM learning activities, hence enhancing the learning and teaching effectiveness. 

Our school has been organising STEAM lessons in form 1 this year with a total 60 lessons, a renewal curriculum has been adopted and involved HE, VA, Maths, CL, Music, IS subjects.  Two Parent STEAM workshops will also be held in Oct and Nov 2019.  Moreover, a STEAM fair for all parents and students will be held in July 2019 to exhibit the products and learning outcomes achieved during the year.

To provide pull-out programs for gifted students, we had arranged lunch time and after-school tutorial classes for hands-on sessions.  According to our previous experience, students have rich ideas and motivation on relevant exercises.  In order to fully implement STEM education to large scale, our school plans to extend new curriculum to F1-3 and establish a STEM Room and Open MakerSpace so as to provide valuable learning opportunities for all junior secondary students.

Parents could be one of the key supporters in STEAM new curriculum. They get in touch with the new teaching tools through Parent Workshops, leading to higher involvement with school development and more “home-school co-operation” chances in the students’ dissemination activities.
