The Road-STEAMer project will participate at the Ecsite 2025 Conference, taking place at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw, Poland. Participants will acquire knowledge on practical tools, strategies, and best practices from experts in Open Schooling. The session will offer a dynamic space to exchange ideas, and advance impactful learning models.
This edition of our Newsletter is packed with inspiring milestones, valuable resources, and exciting upcoming events that showcase the vibrant efforts of our network.
This article highlights the transformative potential of STE(A)M education as a socially innovative approach to making STEM more inclusive and creativity-driven. Drawing on findings from the EU-funded Road-STEAMer project and the DOIT programme, it demonstrates how STE(A)M education enhances creativity, self-efficacy, and interdisciplinary problem-solving skills while promoting diversity and equity in STEM fields.
The study calls for stronger policy support, expanded educator training, and inclusive frameworks to prepare students for the demands of an evolving workforce, positioning STE(A)M as a vital tool for addressing educational gaps and societal challenges.

STEAM educational approaches can greatly benefit the development of digital skills. Drawing on Road-STEAMer’s preliminary results, our latest policy brief “Time for Bold Choices” outlines the main tenets of a
STEAM framework, provides practical examples of what works well, and suggests ways in which STEAM can be mainstreamed in the EU’s Digital Education Action Plan and other policies aimed at boosting digital skills.
Elisabeth Unterfrauner and Claudia Magdalena Fabian from ZSI argue that including the ‘A’ standing ‘arts’ and creative approaches in STEM education and transforming it to STEAM education can have the desired effect: making education more inclusive, increasing scientific understanding, and fostering a positive attitude towards science, and developing skills needed for facing a world with complex challenges.
The latest Road-STEAMer consortium meeting in Exeter transformed frontal presentations into dynamic, interactive workshops that align with our criteria for STEAM practices!
