STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art + Design and Math) is an educational framework that brings reality

into the classroom by connecting different subjects together in a way that they will relate to both the real and business
world and to each other. STEAM is the second step of STEM education, in which one incorporates the artistic and
design-related skills and thinking processes to student-learning process. As such, STEAM education is posed to be
gender inclusive and accessible for all levels of technical abilities. STEAM education provides an opportunity to
formally teach in a fun environment showing the relationships between subjects and real-life, therefore increasing
sense of motivation, self efficacy and problem solving skills. Aims to promote the learners’ motivation for learning
and to educate people so

as to help them become capable of solving multidisciplinary problems.

Additionally STEAM education is to play an important role when proposing solutions to overcome the well-
researched and identified gender issues pronounced in many Western societies related to involve, motivate and retain
girls and women in the fields of science, technology and math, including socio-cultural expectations, lack of female
role models, relevancy of curricula, pedagogy and so forth. Furthermore, the inclusion of arts into the hard sciences
curricula is intended to foster creativity and economic growth.
Purpose
The main purpose of the course is to help teachers to understand the importance of STEAM education and improve
their science school lessons and science project in  kindergarten and in primary school and also in the first grades of
secondary school. Participants will be familiarized with the impact they can have on children by learning science in a
fun and innovative, yet educational manner. They will learn how to boost children imagination and natural gift of
questioning, by implementing scientific way of thinking and science methodology in their work. As our goal is also to
help children to find ways to make STEAM education a fun pathway to children school life. But in addition and a
precious tool in their educational street and life.
