What is STEM? | Leah Bitat | TEDxENP

Our educational system is often criticized for the lack of creativity and the teaching way it provides. In fact, this problem can be found in other countries too. So, why is it so hard to include creativity in these systems ? Or maybe it doesn’t have to, maybe creativity depends on the way the teachers do their job ? And how much do creative methods cost ? Do they require rocket science material or do everyday objects satisfy the needs ? If the greatest minds that ever lived were art fans, what does it add to science and studies ?
All these questions and more will be answered by our speaker, Mrs. Leah Bitat, a Harvard graduate in education, in her talk « Science Technology Engineering (Art) Mathemathics » .

Leah Bitat has worked in the field of education for 20 years, with experience in 4 countries: the United States, France, Italy, and Algeria. Ms. Bitat earned her Master of Education at Harvard University where she studied Risk and Prevention- an approach which aims to create systems that prevent student failure in school. Since 2010 Leah has served as the Field Director for World Learning Algeria, developing education, employment and civic engagement programs in high-needs areas of Algeria. Leah enjoys reading, traveling in Algeria, Algerian music, and learning to cook Algerian food.
