As a professional educator of STEM subjects with almost 40 years experience, I have found that getting young minds to engage and become curios about a process is one of the best ways to motivate a student. By making a project fun and with obvious benefits, it turns the classroom in to a center of ‘eager-learning’. JATP not only teaches academic skills but also practical, social and life skills.
