The German term MINT can be explained with the learning areas M for mathematics, I for information technology, N for natural sciences and T for technology. STEAM is the English-speaking counterpart and consists of the learning areas S for Science, T for Technology, E for Engineering, A for Arts and M for Math. GIST is a private school in Toronto that combines the best of both, the German and Ontario curriculum to deliver an outstanding science and technology program.
The lab can be used by all children. In this way, we increase interest in the natural sciences in the younger generation, break down inhibitions and promote talent.
STEAM_MINT @ GIST follows the teaching principle of research-based learning and offers the opportunity to go deeper into inquiry based learning, ask questions, collect ideas and hypotheses, try things out and carry out experiments, observe and describe, record and discuss results. The students receive a comprehensive education in a learning environment that combines scientific work with scientific and humanistic knowledge.
