Brain development in the early years is critical to developing a child's learning ability. In a child, the right brain develops first. Our right brain is in charge of creative, social, visual skills and intuition, while the left side is analytical, logical, detail oriented and everything grown-up. Hence, it becomes crucial to provide an environment to a child that is conducive to developing their curiosity, imagination and wonder rather than putting too much emphasis on academia. STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. Being creative in finding solutions is at the heart of this approach. It helps them explore and engage with the world.We propose a set of 30 books based on the STEAM educational approach, under the title 'Smart Brain Right Brain'. These books are intended to provide a hands-on learning experience to the reader and encourages them to think outside the box. They help the reader experience STEAM subjects with cool projects and activities. These are coupled with real-world lessons that make connections between schools, community work and global enterprise which enables development of STEAM literacy and the ability to compete in the new economy.Each book in the series will have 32 pages (28 pages + 4 pages activity) and will follow the curriculum as prescribed by the International Baccalaureate.Each subject (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) will have a set of 6 books.
