From the coordination of the project, the objective was to generate experiential knowledge about STEAM work in other European contexts, to enrich the deployment of the innovation program in all the 50 centers involved, giving rise to a definition framework. The 8 centers of the consortium had particular objectives, aligned with the general objective. a) The IEA Oriol Martorell for integrated teaching with music and dance wanted to establish contact with similar centers. b) The Ins 9 of Santa Coloma and the Ins Les Cinc Sènie, pending the construction of their institute, wanted to be able to discover new architectural solutions that would adapt to their educational model based on STEAM. c) The La Parellada and Alberich i Casas schools wanted to see first-hand the Danish experience in educational robotics in 6-12 d) The Ins, Josefina Castellví wanted to know experiences of gamification and virtual reality that would make the study of STEM more attractive in its context. e) Several centers were interested in learning about experiences of collaboration with the immediate environment similar to learning/service. f) Virolai and Pla Marcell were very interested in exploring all the possibilities of a maker spaces
The STEAMcat+ project is a consortium of 8 basic education centers in Catalonia, coordinated by the Sub-directorate for Innovation and Training of the Department of Education, which, despite their peculiarities, share the same objective: to help create a reference STEAM framework for the centers of Catalonia. In the 2018-19 academic year, the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya launched the STEAMcat pedagogical innovation program, in which 50 basic education centers have participated, lasting three years. In this context, from the coordination, it is proposed to these 8 centers to participate in a consortium that also allows them, on the one hand, to start and explore the possibilities offered by the Erasmus programs and from the observation of other schools and the completion of courses . broaden the perspective on their specific interests in STEAM didactics. All of them were interested, in addition to promoting the mobility of the students and encouraging that of the teaching staff. In short, this project has created a space for exchange at a local and European level that will improve the quality of the participating centers and deepen innovation as STEAM reference centers.
