STEAM (or STEM) is not about one activity but rather it’s the process or journey of learning to be curious, explore, and investigate.
Exploring the world of the dinosaurs, volcanoes and meteorites (one of the most favorable theme for children of this age) we become problem solvers, innovators, self-reliant, logical thinkers, technologically literate!
Science encourages investigation and answering questions, often involving experimentation.
Technology refers to using simple tools like crayons and rulers, as well as more complex ones like microscopes and computers.
Engineering refers to recognizing problems and testing solutions.
Arts encourage creativity and allow children to illustrate concepts they are learning.
Mathematics deals with numbers, but also patterns, shapes, organizational skills and much more.
The project will last 6 months, from January 2022 to June 2022 and will involve all partners with ideas and contributions for activities.
As our students are very young they will be guided by teachers who will collaborate on methods and activities.
Each month activities will be planned by the partners with a common theme but from a different perspective e.g. Artistic / mathematics / technology etc. These activities will be implemented by all schools and their actions will be announced for everyone to notice.
Participants will develop their general competences: they will increase their communication and consultation skills with adults and peers, improve their thinking, expression of ideas, independence, expand their vocabulary, solve problems, express their feelings and emotions, explore – experiment, discover the curiosities of the world around them, and enjoy learning something new. Teachers will gain new ideas for organizing children’s activities in kindergarten.
