e-STEAM is changing the way children think and learn.

In today’s rapidly changing, high-tech world, young people need an education that equips them to thrive. Apart from traditional skills and knowledge, education needs to spark curiosity, stimulate creativity and encourage critical thinking and problem solving.

This is the concept behind STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) education. And at WESSA, we’ve not only embraced the concept, we’ve added an extra crucial component … the environment.

e-STEAM is an engaging enrichment programme that blends environmental education with the school curriculum to address pressing societal and environmental concerns. Using a series of capacity-building worshops and challenges, we enable teachers and learners to incorporate the process into their own classrooms and lessons.

e-STEAM helps solve real world environmental issues

Through a carefully crafted 8-step process, students dive into real-world environmental issues and collaborate to devise creative solutions. By identifying challenges and implementing strategies, learners are empowered to take ownership of their education and become proactive agents of change.

You can access WESSA’s e-STEAM programme at any of our three education centres –
uMngeni Valley in Howick, Twinstreams in Mtunzini and Treasure Beach in Durban.
