STEM Minds’ state of the art facility has furniture with a story.
Canada is a global leader in education, but real changes are threatening core principals of traditional learning. Entrepreneurship and collaboration are in-demand skills youth must learn to prepare for higher education. We need to better prepare them for a future where disruptive technologies in the labour market will reward skilled workers. An understanding of STEM will allow future generations to develop into critical thinkers, discoverers, entrepreneurs and problem solvers.
In order to do this, students need an inspiring space to learn.
608 Design has joined forces with STEM Minds to develop one of the most complete maker, collaborative and adaptive STEM specific furniture lines. We studied children’s learning habits and built a frame-work around the equipment they use for making and learning. This line of collaboration furniture is our solution for an emerging product category that is rapidly changing the world around us.
