Immersive Learning: 6 New Technologies at BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya

In most cases, digital technology shapes the way students and educators engage in learning activities. This aligns with how advanced technology enhances the delivery of the S.T.R.E.A.M. learning method. Advanced and digital technology pave the way for an adaptive learning experience tailored to students’ needs while nurturing essential skills for the digital age.

Recognising technology’s effectiveness in supporting S.T.R.E.A.M. learning, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya integrates digitally advanced equipment to reinforce our learning programme. Six cutting-edge technologies now enrich students’ immersive learning experiences across multiple disciplines.

S.T.R.E.A.M. Learning Powered by Technology: BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya’s Digital Leap

The Apple Ecosystem offers immense transformative potential. We leverage this by integrating iPads and MacBooks into learning activities. BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya provides these tools for Early Years to Grade 3, while Grade 4 and above can bring their own devices (BYOD).

These devices serve as powerful tools for students to unlock their potential and express creativity across disciplines. In science and engineering, they facilitate research, simulations, and data analysis. For technology subjects, they help students develop computational thinking and digital solutions. Additionally, they nurture artistry through digital sketching, visual storytelling, and media creation.

Seamless connectivity and collaborative features foster teamwork while encouraging innovation and critical thinking, essential assets for the future.

Immersive Exploration: VR and AR in S.T.R.E.A.M.

With Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya enhances student motivation and engagement. VR enables immersive experiences across subjects, allowing students to explore scientific phenomena, relive historical events, and develop architectural designs.

Meanwhile, AR transforms abstract concepts into interactive visuals. Our school employs AR to present 3D visualizations of geometric shapes in math and human anatomy in biology.

These technologies create an immersive learning experience, encouraging deeper engagement and practical knowledge acquisition through interactive simulations.

Hands-On Innovation: Robotics, Laser Cutter, and 3D Printing

BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya demonstrates its commitment to providing hands-on learning by incorporating robotics, laser cutting, and 3D printing.

Robotics is a powerful tool in our S.T.R.E.A.M. curriculum, enabling students to design, build, and program robots, gaining firsthand engineering and technology experience.

The laser cutter, integrated into the arts programme, allows students to transform digital designs into tangible works of art, demonstrating intricate detailing through advanced technology. 

Our Makerspace, equipped with 3D printing, enables students to bring their designs to life, whether architectural structures, mechanical parts, or scientific models.

These high-tech tools foster creativity and accuracy, sharpening students’ technological skills on real-world application.

Learning in Motion: The Active Floor for Dynamic Learning

BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya is the first school in Indonesia to implement Active Floor technology. Our school utilizes the latest version, Active Floor Pro3, which caters to children of all ages, enabling learning through movement.

Among the six technologies, Active Floor stands out as an interactive tool, particularly in physics, science, and math. It projects complex concepts into engaging, interactive visuals, enhancing comprehension.

Beyond STEM subjects, Active Floor supports learning across disciplines, fostering a dynamic and engaging educational experience.

Empowering S.T.R.E.A.M. Leaders: Digital Skills for Tomorrow

By embracing digital and interactive learning, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya fosters a culture of innovation where students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and excel in S.T.R.E.A.M. disciplines. 

These technologies align with the school’s educational philosophy, ensuring that every student is prepared for the challenges and opportunities of an ever-evolving digital world.

At BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya, we believe that education should go beyond conventional methods, empowering students to become leaders in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The integration of advanced digital tools into our curriculum helps in shaping a generation that is not only knowledgeable but also innovative, adaptable, and ready for the future.
