The project aims to enhance the involvement of elementary school pupils in STEM education while focusing on the inclusion of children with fewer opportunities, such as pupils with learning disorders and girls. In particular, the project will adopt a multidisciplinary approach by using storytelling as a way to enhance the student’s creativity and narrative skills within the STEAM framework.
35 STEAM Boxes covering all STEM subjects and following the school curriculum of pupils aged 6-12
Tutorial and Pedagogical sequences accompanying each box to support teachers in their use and implementation.
Research Report summarizing the findings on science kits and STEM tools that emerged during the project
Pedagogical Guide providing teachers with useful information about STEAM approaches in primary education
Box Creation Guide for teachers to create their own boxes
Implementation guide reporting the testimonies and advice from the schools involved in the project
All these resources will be found on a website dedicated to the project and freely available in 6 languages (English, Estonian, French, Italian, Croatian, Romanian)

13 October, 2023 Creating new storytelling elements!
11 October, 2023 For the creation of our first #box we used a leporello, which the authors, the artistic duo Grimm Twins, also call SILENT BOOK THEATRE. Silent because it only contains images, theatre because it allows us to stage our storytelling. The Silent Book Theatre is a bit of a game, a bit of a toy, a bit of a “stage” behind which the children find the courage to tell their stories; but it also presents itself as a fantastic workshop with which to make their own version, adding to all the already numerous advantages, that of the development of fine motor skills. It allows children to increase their coordination skills as they cut, glue, create, while leaving ample margins for personal creativity… The playful aspect should not mislead, these activities are an integral part of a varied and heterogeneous educational methodology. Being able to personalize their tool allows pupils to be more aware and confident about the subject they work on.
