Sharing from participant schools

2 Pilot STEM course
The STEM sub-group initiated the idea of testing all their preparation work. It was not
possible to conduct a trial run with primary school pupils during the epidemic.
I decided to add a teacher training workshop session and to invite teachers to pretend
to be the target participants. Members from the STEM sub-group and recruited
voluntary students were to pilot the STEM course as prepared, teaching the
’participants’ about the principle of flight and how to make a model plane that can fly
high and far. The STEM sub-group received valuable feedback from our Science and
D&T teachers on the rundown of the pilot programme and modification tips.
The participating teachers’ response proved that providing real experience through
teachers’ active participation was more effective than attending a seminar.

Reflection
As an edupreneur, it is crucial to push the school forward and have teachers carry out changes.
He/she needs to expand the capacity, connect their schools’ vision and mission to their team, and
actualise the vision. The relationship crafting is essential because of the 3Cs (Competence, Character
and Care) qualities behind a great service leader.
