Facing various changes brought about by technological innovation, students need to develop different skills to address challenges in future society and the workplace. Through a combination of design thinking and STEAM training, Makerbay curates unique learning experiences for students to engage in project-based learning, considering user perspectives through observation and interviews to develop practical solutions. Over 12-16 sessions, they delve into woodworking, electronics, or technology skills while enhancing teamwork, communication, and presentation skills. We can adjust the training content according to the needs of the school to match the curriculum arrangement.
