STEM combines science, technology, engineering and mathematics. These disciplines invite learners to explore practical problems, technical concepts and quantitative reasoning.
A Briolight interactive floor projects images onto the floor and responds to the movement of people or suitable objects. Teachers can integrate that response into experiments, games and interdisciplinary activities.
Seven ideas for STEM lessons:
1. Use the floor projection as an arena for robots and radio-controlled models, including aerial models where safely permitted.
2. Explore virtual environments and QR codes in combination with other classroom tools.
3. Demonstrate mathematical ideas and introductory physics concepts using interactive visualisations.
4. Experiment with balance and movement using appropriate wheeled devices where safety rules permit.
5. Develop coordination, imagination and movement through responsive tasks.
6. Encourage communication and teamwork through cooperative challenges.
7. Design custom activities with the software lesson constructor when supported by the installed version.
Unlike fixed physical games, the software-based platform could receive new exercises and visual effects. Teachers should verify which functions are included in their particular licence and model.
