About Kwara STEAMFest
In recent years, the concept of STEAM has gained popularity in the world of education. According to the National Science Foundation, “To succeed in this new highly information-based and technology-driven society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEAM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.”

STEAM builds upon the concept of STEM by emphasizing the integral role of the arts and creativity in the learning process. Specifically, STEAM provides value by exposing young-adults to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. When the Arts are infused into STEM, you create the platform for children to engage critically, creatively and confidently in their learning.

Objectives of Kwara STEAMFest

  • To give children opportunities to explore STEAM with the hope of inspiring the future generations
  • To create awareness among the school children about the arts and its unlimited potential; and ways of tapping into and developing their brainpower.
  • To introduce and promote various techniques and skills pertaining to the improvement of STEAM among children, such as memory skill, digital skills, thinking skill, enhancing the right brain, speed reading, creativity, etc.
  • To enhance school students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM), and prepare them to be problem solvers.
  • To enhance the awareness of the public on the roles and importance of STEAM in socio-economic wellbeing and sustainable development of our society.

While the STEAMFest is a full day program, we believe it’s going to have a lasting impacts on the participating students, parent and their teachers. Teachers would gain numerous examples to draw from when they are teaching science, art and math. Meeting and learning from professionals in the field of STEAM will expose the students to endless possibilities in STEAM and inspire and assist them in creating their own career paths. Children will carry the excitement from the Festival into their school learning. When children engage with real STEAM professionals, they tend to see STEAM as much more creative, diverse, and interesting than they initially thought. Parents will have new opportunities to discuss STEAM at home with their kids. Embracing STEAM can be life-changing for the school students and all of us.
