On March 24th was held in Valencia (Spain) the II Multiplier Event of the STEAM-H Project. It took place within an important national conference for teachers of the educational system: The VI Conference PR3D 2022: “VI Conference on Programming, Robotics and 3D Printing. Robotics, also in Feminine”

Nearly 200 teachers participated in the different programmed activities.

The STEAM-H project had an outstanding presence within this event held in a hybrid mode, with face-to-face communications and an online program, as well as practical workshops.

Within this program, Bylinedu Association and the school La Nostra Escola Comarcal, the Spanish partners of the STEAM-H project, organized the following activities, linked to the II multiplier event of this project:

1. Stand: An exhibition of the results of the STEAM-H project. Our stand received numerous visits from teachers who reported with great interest and highly valued the quality of the guides, the repository of STEAM resources and the training program for Primary schools teachers, available in different languages.
2. Comunication: “The importance of STEAM-H projects in Primary Education”. Empar Bou (La Nostra Escola Comarcal) and Celia Ruíz (Bylinedu Association) explained to the audience the details and provisional results of the STEAM-H project, whose final versions will soon be available on the project website.

Face-to-face workshop: “STEAM activities for “Dummies” teachers, taught by Empar Bou (La Nostra Escola Comarcal) and Celia Ruíz (Bylinedu Association). In this workshop, low-tech and high-tech activities were carried out. These activities arer included in the STEAM-H Manual, a guide in 5 steps to implement STEAM activities with Primary students:

– Start modeling in 3D with Tinkercad.

-Introduction to programming with Bluebots robots.

-Simple electric circuits with Play-Doh.

It was not necessary for the teachers attending the workshop to be experts or to have previous experience with science and technology, since the selected STEAM activities allowed the teachers to discover that they were capable of experimenting with them and integrating them without difficulty in different areas of knowledge that are involved or not related to science.

Complementing the STEAM-H Multiplier Event, Bylinedu and La Nostra Escola Comarcal participated in other moments of the Conference:

-Communication: “Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in Inclusive Programming and Robotics”. Loli Iborra Sales (Bylinedu Association).

-Round table: “Robotics, what for? And for whom?” which included the participation of Empar Bou (La Nostra Escola Comarcal).

-Workshop: “SDG for Inclusion with Micro Bit” with the participation of Bernat Llopis and Loli Iborra (Bylinedu Association).
