Today’s Children Tomorrow’s Changemakers
Co-thinking and Creation for STEAM diversity-gap reduction
Lack of diversity, especially gender inequality and social background are some global problems in different sectors but especially latent in the context of the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering (and the recently added concept of Arts), and Mathematics (STEAM), from primary school to university level and, therefore, labor market. When we talk about diversity, we are worried about attracting representative people from all sectors of society, different cultures, disabilities, ethnic groups, gender or sexual orientation.
Critical History: Adapting history education to the challenges of today’s digitized, globalized, and diverse societies in Europe

The aim will be fulfilled by disseminating the knowledge that has been acquired in decades of scientific research carried out in Europe, but that is not present in any academic curricula circulating nowadays or that characterizes the job expertise owned by actual health professionals.
ROBOSTEAM – Integrating steam and computational thinking development by using robotics and physical devices
We live in a digital society that needs new better prepared professionals for the new challenges and opportunities provided by the ICT. Students must learn how to deal with all the issues that emerge in this new context. They should acquire computational thinking skills by integrating STEAM, however this needs for changes in current learning curricula and also new learning approaches. RoboSTEAM project deals with this issue by the application of a Challenge Based Learning approach that uses Robotics and Physical Devices.
