Every child deserves access to quality STEAM education
If you’re reading this, your school probably had access to lab apparatus, physics equipment and STEAM resources. If you were really lucky, you might even have had access to a robotics or computer lab.
The Current Obstacles
The unfortunate reality is that STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) programmes are too expensive & complex to implement in most schools
This often means that schools give up on conducting STEAM programmes, and stick to traditional pen & paper learning styles
Stick ‘Em is changing that!
We work with impact partners and funders to deploy our low-cost STEAM kits to wherever needed
Because our challenges are self guided, volunteers don’t have to be there for the challenges to happen. Kids decide when and where they want to run a challenge.
Long term, this helps our partners avoid the “touch & go” trap that many social impact projects fall into.
Check out some of our favorite case studies below!
Boon Lay, Singapore
Through CSR funding from Google, we were able to conduct community sessions with the wonderful 3Pumpkins community for 19 weeks. Within just a few sessions, there was a noticeable difference in emotional regulation, patience, and the children’s ability to work with others. Some kids also went on to become “Builder Buddies”, mentoring and organising their own Stick ‘Em sessions.
Sabah, Malaysia
In the stilt houses of Semporna’s shores, the unregistered descendants of refugees live here without government support to basic needs. Borneo Komrads set up a school to teach the children skills to survive and their rights as humans. With access to the internet and electricity, their lives has the potential to change in 1 generation.
Mayuge District, Uganda
150km away from the capital of Uganda in the Mayuge district, STEAM is unheard of. Robotics and Coding are elusive concepts that the students of Musita COU Primary school. The World Bank Report that a Child in Uganda will only attain 38% of their potential is unacceptable. Our partner in Uganda is trying to establish Eastern Uganda’s first Robotics Laboratory, through Stick ‘Em
HCM, Vietnam
In the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh, students from the local schools routinely visit the Phong Thanh Community Library after school to play and meet their friends. As a location where they converge, we introduced Stick ‘Em as a way for them to learn about robotics and technology through play!
Ratchaburi Province, Thailand-Myanmar Border
On the Thailand-Myanmar border, there are two primary schools. Watrangsanaenakornjan School & Ban Tham Hin Border Patrol School. These schools has basic needs and covers the necessary education but lacks access to modern technology to engage their students with. The students are extremely smart and our tools hopes to empower them greatly.
