The EcoSTEAM Project, an Erasmus+ funded initiative aimed at enhancing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education with a focus on environmental awareness, has successfully completed its pilot phase at Lighthouse Private School in Limassol.
Over the course of 12 weeks, 65 secondary school students and 6 STEAM educators participated in project-based activities centered on climate change, environmental conservation, and exploring future careers in STEAM fields. The pilot program featured over 12 innovative activities designed to foster creative and critical thinking while enhancing students’ collaboration skills. Participants reported significant improvements in their understanding of both local and global environmental issues, empowering them to effectively tackle sustainability and climate change challenges.
The insights gained from the pilot at Lighthouse Private School will be instrumental in shaping future educational initiatives, addressing global educational, social, and environmental challenges.
The EcoSTEAM Project’s primary objective is to disseminate and refine educational content developed during the initiative. Feedback from students and educators will be used to enhance the materials and teaching methods for future implementations. The project also involved primary school students and teachers, creating a holistic educational experience across different age groups.
