STEAM EDUCATION FOR ADULTS
STEAM Plus is a project consisting of face-to-face and online training aimed at creating a STEAM curriculum for adult individuals, funded under the European Union Erasmus Plus Adult Education Partnerships for Creativity component.
The activities that will make up the module are designed as a two-level structure.
Foundations. Participants who complete Levels A1 and A2 establish a strong base in STEAM education, cultivating core problem-solving techniques and gaining insight into science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. This forms the stepping stone for further specialisation and skill development across the STEAM disciplines.
Specialisation. Upon completing Levels B1 and B2, participants attain an in-depth understanding and proficiency in their chosen STEAM field, encompassing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, or Mathematics. These levels equip learners with targeted expertise, cultivating advanced knowledge and skills that encompass the diverse facets of STEAM disciplines.
Problem solving and project planning. Upon completing Levels C1 and C2, participants will refine their strategic problem-solving abilities and excel in precise project planning. They will adeptly analyze challenges, devise effective solutions, and manage initiatives with a comprehensive strategy. This empowers individuals to address complex issues and drive successful project outcomes across diverse STEAM disciplines.
Coaching and mentoring. In Levels D1 and D2, individuals learn coaching strategies to successfully lead and motivate learners, promoting deep knowledge. They provide insightful advice as mentorship leaders, fostering knowledge exchange throughout the community and empowering STEAM learners.
