The research aims to study the effectiveness of imparting an innovative STEAM course to primary and preparatory students through an online platform. The study will provide insights into the diverse strategies applied to improve student creativity and innovation from effective peer collaboration. One of the key concerns of the teaching community, of bolstering student-mentor relationship is also addressed during the study, as it can pioneer productive discussions among the educational researchers. The research also involves the study of the active role of parents in the learning process as they form the frontline hands in bridging the gaps caused due to the digital divide.
