| LEADing to creative learning |
|
The acquisition of knowledge through formal education in this day and age can only be meaningful and relevant if it embraces technology, innovation and creativity. That is the aim of the Federation's LEAD: Learning through Engineering Art and Design programme.
Multidisciplinary learning is at the heart of LEAD which incorporates subjects related to STEM (science, technology and engineering and mathematics). It is both technical and functional learning that is applicable in everyday life. More than that, it helps to make students competitive and innovative in today's highly technological world.
