Description
STEAM Kindergarten is a practical and creative training course designed to introduce educators to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics in early childhood education.
The course focuses on learning through play, exploration, creativity and problem-solving, helping teachers transform everyday classroom experiences into meaningful STEAM learning opportunities. Participants will explore simple experiments, digital tools, coding, construction challenges, creative activities, nature-based learning and project-based approaches suitable for young children.
Through practical workshops, collaborative activities and reflection, participants will learn how to design age-appropriate, inclusive and engaging STEAM activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and discovery.
The course also highlights the importance of connecting STEAM with sustainability, digital literacy, communication and children's everyday experiences, providing educators with practical ideas that can be directly applied in kindergarten classrooms.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Check and develop their pedagogical and communication skills.
- Know, in a practical way, how STEAM in the early education stage plays a positive role in improving creativity, innovation, commitment, problem-solving skills and other cognitive benefits of students, and in terms to improve teamwork, communication and adaptability skills for the future.
- Know how to orient a STEAM curriculum to activity, causing children to rush through various activities and materials.
- Be able to focus students on a specific problem, emphasizing the use of science, technology, engineering, art or mathematics and other interrelated knowledge to solve real problems.
- Integrate game elements, methods and frameworks into educational activities, so as to cultivate their interest in exploring activities, promote their scientific attitude and mastery of knowledge and skills, and lay the foundation for their practice and problem solving.
The motto of this course is “Learning by Doing”.
We will make a tour through all the fields forming STEAM education and we will develop several multidisciplinary projects in relation to specific fields.
At the end of the course, participants will have created their own STEAM project based on a curricular subject and using the necessary programming tools and/or game.
The skills acquired by the participants can be useful for:
- Promoting the use of programmes to create stories, games and activities in an intuitive way.
- Providing students with knowledge that will help them later during their careers.
- Selecting materials that allow to execute all the ideas of the group.
- Designing a modern classroom that meets present and future needs.
- Enhancing students’ critical and transversal thinking, achieving a meaningful learning that will enable them to solve problems inside and outside the classroom.
- Educating more competitive citizens for the present and the future in an organic way, enhancing their interest towards STEAM fields.
- Being able to attract the attention and curiosity of their students, and therefore promoting the technical vocations of the future.
- Assisting in the research of new ICT educational tools, even in their invention.
