Mobile higher education STEM field orientation with a STEAM approach
The aim of the project is to promote the development of skills and employability, and to modernize and improve the quality of education, training and youth work. Target groups are teachers and students at universities.
The project works out a methodology, including application of practice oriented creative tools to support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) promotion. During the project each partner defines its current good practice, which is further developed using the „STEAM approach”.
The STEAM approach incorporates interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral aspects into the teaching and learning of STEM subjects. This encourages the inclusion of transversal skills, digital competencies, critical thinking and problem-solving, management, and entrepreneurial skills into education.
