Programme: Erasmus+
Action: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Project reference: 2019-1-UK01-KA201-061990

STEAMitUP is a European project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, which aims to create an educational programme to promote the learning of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) through new technologies, from the first year of primary school to the last year of secondary school.

The main outcome of this project, launched in November 2019, is an e-learning platform. This platform will include a manual for teachers on STEAM teaching and the use of the platform, as well as resources and tools that will allow teachers to create their own educational material adapted to the needs of their teaching activity. Among the material available for use will be resources for thematic days, workshops or proposals for theoretical-practical lessons.
