A set of roadmaps
- Step 1: Map & analyze STEAM initiatives and policies to identify
- Harvest and analyse to identify alignments and ruptures between
- The EU Steam landscape
- the needs of teachers, policymakesr, industry, schools.
- Step 2: Identify key areas, topics, and trends to investigate further
- Exchange with stakeholders to refine understanding and device solutions
- Step 3: Deliverables
- Roadmap: Solutions to mainstream and implement STEAM education
- Case studies: Evidence of good practice in context
- Mapping of Resources and Advice to users
- Impact assesment
Key Findings to date
- STEM, iSTEM, STE(A)M, STEAM, STEAME are about the same acronyms
- Clear under-representation of the STEM industry in EU funded projects
- Significant gaps and weaknesses in the accessibility and sustainability of EU funded projects
- Resources are difficult to retrieve because of subjective categorisation of subjects, unspecifies target audiences, and generic learning objectives.
- Collaborative skills remain a weak point for teachers and schools. More training is need and the space
- . . .
