J-STEAM games in Ji Tap
What is J-STEAM?
STEAM is an approach to teaching and learning which emphasizes Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. At Ji, we have added a Jewish element to STEAM learning which incorporates Jewish themes and ideas to help foster discussion, creativity and critical thinking.
Why is STEAM important?
More & more good jobs require a solid grounding in STEAM subjects. It’s a trend which will only continue as workplaces become increasingly reliant on technology, and many of the best paid positions go to those who can program computers and work with machines.
Doesn’t all the real STEAM education happen in high-schools?
Nope. Kids need to acquire the principles and mental tools for learning and engaging with STEAM material during their elementary or primary education. In the UK, coding is now now a mandatory part of the curriculum for children as young as 5 years old.
So how does the ‘J’ combine with the ‘STEAM’?
Ji’s tools and content present a unique opportunity for children to learn & practice STEAM skills of scripting, instructional design, debugging, variables, graphic design, animation and reward systems inside the context of Jewish education. For example, your students can be creating their own games about the Seder Night rituals, while they develop their STEAM skills.
How do I find out more?
Arrange a call with us. J-STEAM isn’t a one-size-fits-all exercise. We can work with your requirements and IT facilities to establish an ideal solution for your school.
J-STEAM Testimonials
STEAM thinking is Jewish thinking. It’s the idea that we take what was, and that we reinvent it and rethink it.
Kellman Brown Academy, NJ
This J-STEAM project is an opportunity to put Kellman Brown Academy on the map and our special South Jersey Jewish community on the map. Together, we are going to build something that’s new, that’s different, that’s innovative, that’s cutting edge, that’s going to be something that sets us apart from any other school and any other Jewish community around.

My STEAM education started in Jewish Day School as well. Today, I use it every day! J-STEAM will help them become critical thinkers, analytical thinkers, and it will help them grow into leaders in their fields and in their Jewish communities.
