Upcoming event
This session is focused on learning more about what’s going on in STEAM education research and how we can work together in the future.
We are setting up a series of 90-minute on-line sessions for the academic year 2025-6 to develop our collective thinking and practice in relation to recent STEAM research and publications. Members are invited to volunteer to co-lead a session where they have identified a paper which they consider important for our community to engage with and facilitate discussion around it.
We will review the 3 proposed themes for the coming year:
STEAM 3-18 – How do we do it?
We are also planning for several events looking at how educators internationally are developing STEAM education and to what effect.
SIG members to informally share their own and known current project and events to develop our networks.
