European Project promoting STEAM in Engineering Teaching

The First Transnational Meeting

Pixel organized and coordinated the kickoff meeting of the European project entitled STEAM-Active which took place online – using the Zoom web platform – on 3 and 4 March 2022. The European project entitled STEAM-Active was funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education. The STEAM-Active project was written and coordinated by the project applicant and scientific coordinator University of the Basque Country, based in Leoia (Spain) in cooperation with Pixel, also supporting the coordination of the planning process. The project aims to improve engineering teachers’ knowledge and experience using innovative educational methodologies such as STEAM and to better students’ performance in engineering-related social issues by promoting their ability to integrate different disciplines in solving a problem. During the first meeting, the European project partners introduced themselves as well as their project’s related experiences and expertise. The main activities to be carried out were presented and discussed, as well as the templates to be used.
