FULL STEAM 2025 (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) is a unique opportunity for professional educators to learn from Finnish experts about innovative skills and methodologies for teaching STEAM.
Additionally, we are delighted to partner with the Educational and Cultural Services, City of Oulu  to provide school administrators and teachers from around the world who are interested in improving their STEAM teaching practice with a STEAM teaching training program in the self-proclaimed STEAM capital of the world – the City of Oulu. Furthermore, the organisers have a track record of organizing educational events with the Quality Standards for courses under Key Action 1 as required by the European Commission, suitable for teachers with ERASMUS+ grant
Moreover, students that are now in primary education will be in working life still in 2060. Therefore, what skills do you think would be needed then? Although, we cannot know for sure, STEAM pedagogy is one potential answer when trying to prepare children for an unpredictable future. In addition, read the course leader’s blog post about the importance of teaching steam skills. 
Join us and enhance your STEAM teaching skills and methodologies in an innovative network of experts and schools from early childhood education, basic education, and upper secondary school, where STEAM learning and teaching are being developed. During the course, you will have an opportunity to experience STEAM learning environments as well as learn from the educational professionals who are conducting STEAM pedagogy in their schools.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education in Finland is based on the National Curriculum. Specifically, STEAM in OULU is a student-centered, experimental, and community-based learning platform that improves a school’s operating culture from the perspective of doing and learning together.
Furthermore, there is an extensive network of STEAM schools in Oulu and STEAM pedagogy is used to develop not only learning but also the whole operational culture of the schools. Consequently, STEAM skills development can be seen throughout the city: even many kindergartens are involved as well as University of Oulu, and companies in the region. Therefore, come and experience the full STEAM in Oulu!
