OUTSTE(A)M

OUTSTE(A)M is transforming early childhood education with an innovative toolkit designed to ignite curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity in young learners, turning outdoor learning into an exciting STE(A)M adventure

As a Scientix project, OUTSTE(A)M and its partners are developing this toolkit to revolutionise early childhood education by enhancing outdoor STE(A)M learning. The project addresses challenges such as STEM awareness, gender stereotypes, and disconnection from nature, offering job profiles, learning scenarios, visual resources, games, toys, and instructional guidelines.
