STEM education - a combination of science, technology, engineering and mathematics - is gaining popularity here in China.

According to consultant JMD Education, the demand will create a 15 billion US dollar STEM-learning industry in China. Innovative education institutions are helping to develop and nurture a new generation of thinkers and creators.

In the new era, where technology is at the forefront of China’s growth strategy, kids are taught what the future creators of China need - to be able to think carefully, critically and creatively

Before Chinese children get a head start in science and technology, learning to speak English helps them to communicate with the world's top minds in science. English is also important for students to become an international workforce.

Therefore, Chinese parents are eager to let their children start learning English at an early age. Start-up companies are eyeing the market and come up with all kinds of English learning apps or some other tools to try to get a piece of the pie. And while there are plenty of English teaching apps, the following company has a more scientific approach.

Education is evolving as the future of work and society is being transformed by technology, and we need creative ways of delivering education that will remain relevant long after the exams are finished.

The ultimate goal of STEM education is to bring about our next generation of scientists and engineers with creative thinking. Although education in creative thinking is not a new concept in China, the roadmap is a bit sketchy. Well, some private education institutions are doing something to help bridge the gaps in state-provided teaching.
