The Governor cuts the ribbon to officially dedicate and open the STEAM centre. Full STEAM ahead at Mandurah Baptist College August 31, 2022 By Ashayla Dawn The Governor and Mrs Dawson were invited to Mandurah Baptist College this evening to unveil the newest edition to the school – a state-of-the-art STEAM education facility. STEAM Education is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The Governor speaks with students about their experiences at the school. In his address, the Governor noted the importance of integrating the arts with STEM learning; “To succeed in life after school, our young people need to: Take thoughtful risks; Engage in experiential learning; Persist in problem-solving; Embrace collaboration; and Work through the creative process… and this is what a STEAM-based education provides. Arts and sciences do not exist separately from each other. Musicians and artists work within the scientific constructs of time and rhythm and measurement. Equally, our scientists draw on creativity both to find creative solutions to problems and to express the importance of their findings.” The Governor and Mrs Dawson tour the facility.
