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.

We invite educators, researchers, game designers, and creative professionals to participate in a three-hour workshop titled “Video Games in STEAM and as STEAM: Learning and Innovating Through Play.” This workshop presents a playful opportunity to explore how the principles of STEAM can be integrated with innovative game design to create engaging and educational experiences. Additionally, we will examine how video games inherently incorporate STEAM logic and the lessons they offer.
