The program is led by Ripujeet and Archana. STEMshala After School Enrichment Program has been in operation during the years shown as © 2018 - 2021 - STEMshala.com | All rights reserved. Its stated mission is to deliver a mix of curriculum, methodology, material, and teachers to prepare children for the 21st century at an affordable price, strengthen education to increase American competitiveness, and prepare children to meet the challenges of a changing world. The mission also states that the program focuses on subject matter understanding and comfort in areas such as math, science, and technology, prepares students for more rigorous math and science and other STEM courses in later grades, and diagnoses deficiencies in subject proficiency to provide intensive, scientifically based intervention to improve understanding. The program’s materials state that its curricula are based on enhancing problem solving skills and hands-on project-based learning, that lessons are well scripted, well organized, use multiple approaches, are coherent, and are oriented toward problem solving rather than rote mastery of facts and procedures, and that problems are represented visually through a model-drawing approach. The technology curriculum is described as project based and including engaging computer activities for children of all ages, and the courses are described as inspiring children to build on their natural curiosity by teaching engineering through hands-on projects. The math programs are described as helping improve math comprehension and preparing children for advanced-level courses, and STEMshala states that it offers programs to promote scientifically based research and promising practices to improve subject matter knowledge in math, science, and technology. STEMshala’s stated goal is to bring the latest technologies into the hands of kids and teens and to spark a passion for a future career in a STEM field, and it describes itself as a platform for children ages 5–15 years. The program describes its classrooms as fun and vibrant virtual environments that use state-of-the-art technology to provide face-to-face video and audio conferencing, and it also describes a virtual campus where teachers and students can see, hear, and interact with each other as if they were face to face while remaining at home. Program materials state that students receive a three-stage evaluation process (entry stage to assess placement level, intermediate stage to assess progress, and graduation stage to assess actual growth), that technology and group teaching are used to make the program more competitive than similar programs, and that teachers are described as Learning Facilitators who facilitate learning through self-discovery by igniting, challenging, questioning, and explaining in a story form. The program also notes that students have a visual connection by seeing other kids and their teachers, which it describes as a vital and motivating part of effective learning.
