Every year the Society of Light and Lighting's President choses a theme for their year. This year Kristina Allison’s presidential theme is about education and showing those in Key Stage 4 the opportunities in lighting - The STEAM 'Get Curious' lighting programme.
What is STEAM Education?
STEAM Education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths. It aims to equip students with a diverse skill set, fostering creative problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. STEAM in education is especially applicable to light and lighting as it captures the creative aspects of light as well as the science and technology parts too.
What is the programme?
Signposting opportunities for those in Key Stage 4 to have work experience in the many different aspects of the lighting industry.
Encouraging those in the lighting industry to become STEAM Ambassadors.
