Over the past two days, St Andrews International School Bangkok hosted the SuSTEAMability JAWS Workshop.
Job Alike Workshops (JAWS) are networking events where colleagues from FOBISIA Member Schools gather to share good practice and co-construct new knowledge. All participants are actively involved in the planning of the agenda and are provided with opportunities to contribute.
This inspiring event, brought together over 50 international school teachers from eleven countries across Asia. This JAWS focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and Sustainability, highlighting our commitment to fostering global collaboration and innovative education.
Participants engaged in a series of dynamic presentations and workshops, showcasing how empowering our students and inspiring them through STEAM can lead to groundbreaking and sustainable solutions to real-world challenges. The event demonstrated the power of education in driving positive change and underscored the importance of international cooperation in addressing global issues.
At our Primary School, some of our amazing Year 5 and 6 Eco Beasts led an eco-tour around the school, showcasing our sustainability projects. After that, we had a session on “Planning a SuSTEAMability Week,” where we shared insights about our unique curriculum week. The visiting teachers were very impressed by the knowledge and confidence of our Eco Beasts.
We are honoured to have been part of such meaningful exchanges and look forward to continuing our efforts in promoting sustainability and innovation in education. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to making this event a resounding success.
I am delighted to congratulate two of our Year 9 students who entered the recent NAE Global MIT Steam challenge. Carina and Pun Pun entered this competition videoing themselves as they moved through the different stages of their design process to create excellent models.
From project start to completion, the students were immersed in marine sustainability, finding solutions which address environmental challenges related to building and implementing artificial coral reefs. Their interdisciplinary work focused on coral reef restoration off the coast of Rayong. Designed to showcase their hard work and present these innovative solutions to experts within the marine field, the project has been supported by Thai Ocean Academy and Aow Thai Marine Ecology Centre (ATMEC), who were also in attendance at the event.
St Andrews High School Students from Years 7 and 8 had a very enjoyable and successful week working on their STEAM MIT Global Challenge: designing a plant that could cope with extreme weather phenomenons in Thailand.
