▶Objectives
The main objective of the project is: Developing STEM/STEAM skills in children of preschool age, by building an innovative creative environment and based learning in STEAM. By applying STEAM- based learning, children turn from little explorers into proud scientists, mastering the secrets of engineering, design, etc. In addition to all the practical skills that children will acquire during the games and activities in the STEAM corner, they learn to work in a team, to dream together.
▶Activities
Four project activities will be implemented as a mobility in each of the participating countries and a programme of activities that will be implemented locally by each organization. Principles of STEM-based learning that we will apply in innovation: STEAM covers the 4 principles identified as key in 21st century education: -creativity, -cooperation, -critical thinking -communication. Ways of applying STEAM based learning in the preschool period: -learning through playing -learning by doing
▶Impact
Outcomes: -trained to implement STEM-based learning teachers; -developed situations/lessons to support the activities; -applied innovative teaching and learning methodologies; -becomes the child's mentor, helping him by guiding him with questions in the process of discovery. -opened to Europe -improved language skills in communication areas -discovering different educational systems and ways of organizing kindergarten work in other countries -shared experience and gained knowledge
