WHAT IS WESSA e-STEAM?

What is WESSA e-STEAM? WESSA e-STEAM is a groundbreaking holistic action-learning process introduced by WESSA Education Centres, enabling young people to be change makers within their communities. It exposes learners to key skills and techniques for future tertiary education, entrepreneurial opportunities and green work skills requirements. The 8-step process followed at our Education Centres, give learners the practical skills and theoretical background to solve environmental issues within their communities and create potential Entrepreneurship opportunities, through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. This is implemented in the form of a new innovation or design or through a campaign or project. The learners design their own ideas/concept, which mean that they have a greater buy in to the idea compared to simply being told what to do. This mostly learner centred approach creates an agency for change within the course participant. The framework incorporates teambuilding, leadership and personal development focused learning that builds self- esteem. Through partnerships with various industry professionals our learners are introduced to other innovations and build a support network on which they can call for support whilst implementing their projects.
