The number of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) related jobs is growing every year. In fact, STEM job growth in the past 10 years is three times that of any other field in EU, but by 2025 it is estimated that the demand for STEM jobs will go unfilled. Yet, STEM education programs have not kept pace with which makes us think that whether there will be enough qualified employees available to take on these new positions.

To fill in this gap in our environments with international partnership, we have designed our project: ‘My Future Job Through STEAM’. By Integrating Art (A) into STEM, our students will be given tools with which they think creatively and solve complex problems with art and design. The main aim of our project is to increase motivation and interest for students to pursue STEAM-related careers. Getting more girls interested in STEAM disciplines is another point of our project.

During Project lifetime, the staff will raise their awareness about interdisciplinary relationship between such subjects as Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics by exchanging ideas and experiences with other European partners. And, our students will experience working and enjoying in multicultural social settings with their international friends. They will develop their skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, learning to learn and initiative and entrepreneurial competencies required for STEAM disciplines in Experiential Learning, Inquiry Based Learning and Project Based Learning.

5 countries and 6 partners will be involved in this project with approximately 120-directly, 1800- indirectly students aged between 12-15 and about 50 teachers and educators with different experience, knowledge, beliefs, but common educational ideals.

Common Project Outputs will be Robots, Digital Storytelling, Animation Video, e-Brochure, Scientific Experiments, Blogs, Moodle platform, Newsletter, Project web site and eTwinning Project.
