So, symmetries are intertwined with two of essential threads of human research: that of beauty that of truth." |
|
| 1st EASE Summit | Ronen Even Tzur | Kids Life Skills ASBL |  | The importance of problem-solving skills for kids' futures | "It is common for students who are focused on getting good marks to seek the quickest method to reach the right answer. It may involve learning a formula or an answer rather than developing problem-solving skills. Studies have shown that kids learn better when they are asked to explain how they solve problems. Robotics, gaming, off screen challenges and other methods can be used in an educational context to teach kids that often there isn’t a single correct or definitive answer." |
|
| 1st EASE Summit | Jo Trowsdale/ Richard Davies | University of Central Lancashire / University of Suffolk | | Designing authentic STEAM education | "Authentic STEAM education must overcome the deficit models of science and arts implicit in many approaches.

|
| 2nd EASE Summit | Danilo Kozoderc | Email Website | Simetris - Blue Workshop | | Learning by prototyping | "Learning through prototyping can be highly effective in the field of STEM. Students create a prototype, test it, make improvements, and learn through the process. They are also very receptive to new knowledge as it helps them make their prototype better. Teachers, on the other hand, need to embrace pedagogical laziness as they need to step back while children are working on their prototypes." |
| 2nd EASE Summit | Mariapia Borghesan | IC "Comuni della Sculdascia" Casale di Scodosia (PD) | | How to promote STEAM outside the school | "STEAM education is a crucial topic for next generations.

With Ruby we discovered creativity and developed skills; We went in search of the 5 gems, and to do this we used strawbees, ozobots, tinkering, treasure hunts, decrypted ciphers, used computers to create augmented reality tickets and so much more. " |
| 2nd EASE Summit | Shammy Coello | Centro Campus |  | Project Management for Project Based and STEAM Based Education | "This talk explores the intersection of project management and project-based learning (PBL) within the context of STEAM-based education.

| 2nd EASE Summit | Ashley Morris | www.product-change.com | | Systems thinking | "My proposition is to help students learn how to create simple designs of world beating products such as Concorde, the world’s first and most successful supersonic passenger airliner. Bridge the gap between work and education – Gatsby Benchmark 4. In the world of engineering there’s always a need to group items by common properties such as electrically powered items in a car – the electrical system. In the field of Mathematical Logic this relates to set theory including Venn Diagrams." | |
| 2nd EASE Summit | Rameeta Vasudev Sharma | RBK Educational Institutions | | Journey from Scrap to Success | “Imagine, you could visualise the intricate and abstract concepts of science and mathematics.” For example, a student who studies the topic “Reflection” in science class do not get any connection of the same topic he/she studies in the mathematics class. Are they totally different? Or are there some connections between the two? Effective implementation of STEAM education would serve several purposes including interdisciplinary education and technology integration in the K-12 segment. | |
