"Makers a les aules 2019-2010" kicks off, offering STEAM education to more than 200 primary school students and teachers

The 2019-20 edition of "Makers a les aules" kicked off on October 9th at our Campus, with the presence of the schools participating in this year's edition. In addition to the organising team at our Department and Barcelona Activa, at the kick-off meeting we had the participation of members from other organisations promoting STEAM in primary scshool, such as the Consortium for Education and some CRPS (Centers for Pedagogical Resources), the team promoting the STEAMCat program or our neighbours from mSchools, as an objective of Makers a les aules is to contribute to bring the participating schools closer to the many actions available in our context to promote the presence of STEAM in primary education.

The participating schools are:

  • Escola Baró de Viver
  • Escola L'Arenal de Llevant
  • Escola Orlandai
  • Escola Splai
  • Escola Fluvià
  • Escola Heura
  • Escola Drassanes
  • Escola Barcelona
  • Escola Castella

The goal of "Makers a les aules" is to train and qualify primary education teachers in the creation of a maker project based on STEAM and its implementation it in the classroom, in a way that both, teachers and students, learn at the same time.

Different projects were developed in each school participating in 2018-19, linked to different academic areas.The video below shows a compilation of these different projects. Additional projects will be uploaded in the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE) of the project.
