What is ‘ШИМТ+’ STEAM curriculum?

ШИМТ+ is a national STEAM education curriculum that aims to be Mongolia’s new standard of education for the 21st century.

In other words, it is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. These are the innovators, educators, leaders, and learners of the 21st century!

ШИМТ+ is a curriculum of STEAM that particularly suits the way of thinking and psychological traits of Mongolian children. Our content development activities are therefore, tightly aligned with ШИМТ+ curriculums.
