Locatify joins ESTEAM Project to help improve teaching processes!

The project ESTEAM arises from the personal experience and needs of science teachers and is co-financed by the EU Erasmus+ Programme. It is known that learning programs and the learning process are getting more comprehensive, faster and more demanding with the traditional ways of teaching is slowly losing effectiveness.

Modern, contemporary and fun ways of teaching with modern technologies included in learning process are in need.  Internationalization is promoted and there is also increased use of digital learning, possibly in combination with teaching in the field.

The ESTEAM project aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the school system through an innovative method (teaching methodology, toolkit & users experience space (virtual & nature)) that links National curriculum goals in natural science education with development of mobile teaching/users experience platform (ICT) in combination with outdoor activities. Additionally, development and findings will result in guide for Teachers in Natural Science Education – ESTEAM methodology Step by step guide.
