One of the most important lessons students have learned in My Box of STEAM project is the ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-world challenges. Scientific principles, mathematical reasoning, and technological tools come to life when students use them to design, test, and refine solutions to complex problems. For example, students working on a robotics […]

Most of the activities in the project “My box of STEAM” are designed to be carried out in the classroom. The setting is often easier to control and more comfortable for a teacher working alone with a class. But is this the only way to use our resources? Outdoor activities have many advantages. First of

We are honored to have NPO Almond Community Network as an external contributor to our My Box of STEAM project. Based in Japan, NPO Almond is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing social welfare challenges through the principle of ‘active listening’ and fostering community well-being. Over the years, they have innovatively used cultural and artistic

Teaching STEAM to dyscalculics pupils can be challenging, but with the right approach and support it can be made much easier. As mathematical concepts are often used in all STEAM subjects, dyscalculia can have an impact on a student’s understanding and engagement in learning. In our STEAM boxes, we have followed the following suggestions and

Among the 36 exciting STEAM boxes we’ve developed, one stands out for its ability to captivate young imaginations: the Dinosaurs box. It taps into the excitement that dinosaurs naturally bring to young learners, making science fun and accessible. This box combines STEAM principles—science, technology, engineering, art, and math—into activities that let students become junior palaeontologists.

While schools play a central role in introducing students to STEM subjects, parents are increasingly recognized as key contributors to their children’s STEM education at home. This role has become even more significant with the rise of remote learning, technological advancements, and the growing emphasis on critical thinking skills. By actively engaging in their children’s

One of the most ambitious and at the same time inspiring goals of our MY BOX OF STEAM project is to provide girls with examples, inspiring them and bringing them closer to science, technology, and engineering. These subjects not only shape the future of our planet but are increasingly vital for the future of the

One of the key aspects of the My Box of Steam project is the sustainability of the boxes: in addition to being easy to create and affordable, we wanted to limit the impact of our project on the environment. So, what did we do? Source: Grimm sisters Reduce First of all, one of our goals

To make the contents of the Boxes even better, we have tested the Boxes. In Estonia, a number of boxes were tested in Martna Primary School in the spring. Fifty students (including 24 girls) took part in the testing under the guidance of seven teachers. Here’s a brief overview of which boxes have been tested
