Reimagining Quranic Narratives in STEAM Education

The main theme emphasizes how Quranic teachings—rooted in reflection, inquiry, observation, and wisdom—align naturally with STEAM-based education. Integrating these narratives helps create a learning environment that:

  • Encourages curiosity through divine signs (Ayat)
  • Strengthens ethical decision-making
  • Promotes critical thinking

This approach prepares students to become innovators who uphold moral responsibility while engaging with advanced scientific and technological domains.
