Shifu Plugo - STEM Wiz kit 3 in 1

Tablet in children's hands

Whether we like it or not, modern technology has become an integral part of our lives. Those who learn to make full use of technology’s possibilities have won. Most children in our country understand how to play with devices from an early age. Of course, the creators of Shifu are aware of this and therefore come up with an innovative set of games that not only draw children into the action, but also teach them a lot of new things, improve their cognitive abilities, and develop logical thinking.

Modern form of teaching - STEM

The form of STEM teaching is not very widespread in the Czech Republic yet, however, it is a modern way of teaching, which you can meet, for example, in a leisure hobby group. STEM stands for four disciplines - science, engineering, technology and mathematics. In classical education, these sciences are taught independently, modern STEM teaching works on the interconnection of these subjects and the practical solution of the problem in context.

You may be wondering what the above-mentioned form of teaching has to do with children's play. The creators from the Shifu focus on interactive and non-violent education. Therefore, children unknowingly learn while playing, without feeling that it is a matter of teaching. Shifu directs children's interest in science and technology and improves their orientation in modern technology. Children are then able to apply the acquired knowledge in solving problems in everyday life.
