STEM education is about to change

The way that we view STEM education in the coming years is going to change tremendously — more so than ever before. Our connection to each other has grown so much in the past few years as smartphones and other technologies continue to develop. Now, as 5G and the Internet of things continue to mature and show their potential, it’s only a matter of time before they work their way into the classroom.

Students all learn differently, however internalizing fundamental concepts is easier done through discovery. Instead of providing students with a reading on Rutherford’s alpha particle scattering experiment, it would be more beneficial to allow them to conduct a similar experiment and come to a guided conclusion. This isn’t always possible though — arming young students with radioactive chemicals and extremely expensive equipment isn’t probably the best idea. Computer simulations can help in this, but more often than not they only go so far.

Smart cities are some of the fastest growing areas around the world. The inclusion of devices that monitor and assess factors of wellbeing improve our quality of life. So why would education be any different?

Creating a smart classroom relies heavily on our ability to change and adapt as time goes on. This is self-evident, especially looking at education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Without teachers’ ability to, in many cases, switch to a completely new modality for much of the 2020–2021 school year, where would we be? Technology has cemented itself into classrooms; now it’s time to harness it.
