Learning through technology - STEAM activities in Stockholm, Sweden.

From 31.03 to 06.04, project partners were welcomed and hosted by the Swedish team in the International English School in Stockholm, Sweden.

Pupils performed practical work in the school's l laboratory; first planning, programming, then creating a product such as a key ring made using a 3D printer. They planned and created animation about the STEAM theme and  learnt about Scratch and Microbit programming.

These activities involved teamwork and thoughtful dialogue, in which students exchange ideas and develop their potential.

In the STEAM fair, project partners were introduced to the practical projects of the school's students. These were models of bridges and buildings, planes made from simple, reusable materials. Self-made musical instruments, products from fabrics, for example, the model of the solar system made using felt.

Places we visited.

The Swedish Museum of Natural History  provided insights into the theory of life and human development and the  processes of evolution on Earth.

Technology Museum - it could be called an active learning place where students programmed the movements of a robot (Lego tractor), experimented with interactive video games, got to know about the projection of light and sound.

Project activities included exploring the special places of the Swedish capital. Teachers and pupils visited the Old Town of Stockholm. In the Square of King Adolf Gustav, we saw a change of guards and the ancient Market Square, the magnificent parliament building and other places. We felt the breath and rhythm of this Scandinavian city.

Nobel Museum is devoted to Nobel Prize winners, which have been active since 1901, and it is dedicated to the founder Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) as well. To date, over 800 laureates have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Each winner is included in the museum's portrait set. Here you can see the greatest discoveries of many countries around the world. The Nobel Prize laureates are an exciting adventure that reflects the history of the world with it successes and failures.  

STEAM activities in Sweden were motivating and inspiring. They gave pupils an opportunity to get to know their peers from other countries and to jointly develop their scientific creativity. They also provide a great source of inspiration for teachers in finding innovative and interesting ways to teach STEAM.
