According to research by the US scientific magazine SCIENCENEWS, up to 90% of the brain's formation and development takes place before children enter kindergarten. And early brain development has a lasting impact on children's ability to learn and succeed in school and in life. The quality of a child's experiences in the early years - positive or negative - will help shape how their brain develops in the future. Children at this stage will begin to be curious and want to explore the world around them, so BRIGHTONERS organizes the program "Science Day" for children to experience STEM to help them learn a lot of interesting knowledge and participate directly through simple experimental activities right in this article! With the topics "

1. Wind-powered boat.

2. Indestructible bag.

3. Volcanic eruption

4. Bottomless boat

Bottomless boat

5. The color change of white daisies

6. Explore nature with a magnifying glass (Burning leaves with a magnifying glass, rocks, pebbles...)

Some benefits when children participate in science festivals and experience reality through STEM experiments.
Children experience integrated cross-subject education with full knowledge and skills related to 5 fields: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and art development. In other words, children experience an integrated educational method between STEM education and art skill development.

Each lesson in the program is a real-life situation and topic and children need to apply a lot of knowledge they have learned to solve problems most effectively. This will help children understand the problem clearly and easily applied in practice through seeing, hearing, and touching.

STEM experiments not only help children learn new knowledge more easily but also create a premise to help children develop life skills.

Thanks to the combination of knowledge from many different subjects from technology, science, engineering, mathematics to art, the STEM plus ART method helps children practice and develop many essential soft skills such as:

• Problem-posing skills: Before starting any project or experiment, preschool students are required by teachers to pose a problem to solve before finding the answer. Through that, children will learn how to analyze, judge, and problem-solving skills to predict the results that will occur.
• Inquiry skills: Next, in the process of learning and exploring, children must use the skill of asking questions and finding answers to many given problems. This helps children practice critical thinking skills and inquiry skills. From there, they will know how to solve problems in different situations encountered in life.
• Observation skills: The STEM plus ART method helps children practice perseverance and observation skills to find the nature of things and phenomena.
• Collaboration skills: Programs that teach children cooperation skills applied according to the STEM program regularly build lessons to help children have the opportunity to work in groups and cooperate with friends around them.
• Children will contribute ideas and find solutions to the problems. Thereby, for each lesson, children will learn and perceive from many different perspectives and develop better teamwork skills.
• Stimulate curiosity and discovery: Children always want to learn about the world around them, STEM experiments arouse and guide children to questions such as: "Why", "Why" thereby helping children remember knowledge more easily.
• Developing thinking skills: STEM experiments require children to focus on observing and analyzing to understand the mechanism of the experiment. This helps children build thinking skills early
• Developing creative skills: experiments encourage children to try new ideas and no longer feel afraid of making mistakes. This is the foundation to help children develop creative skills.
• Developing self-learning ability: children learning and practicing new knowledge will help stimulate their curiosity and exploration, thereby helping them to be proactive in learning and improving their knowledge.
