About Me

MY PASSION FOR EDUCATION

Hello, I'm Shahistha Tabbasum , an ICT, STEM, and Robotics educator, curriculum designer, and EdTech integration specialist. I bring over five years of hands-on teaching experience across international settings, including India, UAE, Qatar and the USA (online), with a strong passion for merging technology and creativity in the classroom. From developing coding modules and robotics lessons to training teachers and authoring STEM-based books, my mission is to make tech learning accessible, engaging, and empowering for all students. I specialize in working with children aged 7-15 years, integrating AI, coding games, and drone technology to foster critical thinking and innovation.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

As an educator, I believe that learning should be inquiry-driven, inclusive, and imaginative. With a background in Computer Science, Early Years Education, and Educational Technology, my teaching philosophy blends child-centric pedagogy with cutting-edge tools in coding, robotics, and AI.

I see my classroom not just as a space for knowledge transfer, but as a creative lab—where students tinker, question, collaborate, and build real-world solutions. Whether it’s designing a smart car using Arduino or exploring pattern recognition through coding games, every activity I design aims to spark critical thinking and joyful learning. 

My core beliefs:

  • Learning by Doing: Children grasp abstract concepts best when engaged in hands-on projects.

  • Tech as a Language: Coding, robotics, and AI aren’t just subjects, they're new ways for students to express, solve, and invent.

  •  Every Child Can Innovate: I differentiate instruction to reach diverse learners, ensuring that each child feels capable and confident.

  • Teacher as a Lifelong Learner: I constantly evolve through research, innovation, and global collaboration, modeling curiosity and growth for my students.

Having taught across different age groups and cultural contexts, I recognize the power of adaptive teaching, one that embraces both empathy and experimentation. Experienced with CBSE and global project-based learning models; familiar with UAE MOE goals and well-prepared to align with Vision 2030 and 21st-century learning outcomes. My ultimate goal is to equip learners with future-ready skills and a resilient mindset to thrive in a changing world.
