In STEM++ Communication, we focus on three main areas:

• Structuring

• Writing

• Presentation

​

In Structuring, we look at

• the five Ws – what, why, who, where, when

• top-down vs bottom up communication

• deciding on a writing style based on the format

​

In Writing, we look at

• storytelling – looking at aspects such as how to engage the audience, how to introduce humor / drama / action

• we touch upon fiction vs non fiction writing, and how each one presents different opportunities

• we also look at different ways to write including illustrative – comics / doodles, short articles, essays and so on

​

In Presentations we look at

• public speaking including presenting to peers, such as explaining concepts that have been learned in other areas of our curriculum

• producing and editing videos – including planning out the scenes, budgets, actors, technical etc

• making video blogs and how to integrate all the learning to make your own videos
