The present project focuses on the cultivation of 21st century skills: life skills, soft skills and technology/science skills, through the utilization of educational robotics, basic programming concepts and STEAM education activities by preschool children, school age and higher education students.

Based on the activity theory and the belief that learning is the result of interaction, the specific concern of this project is the expansion of the learning environment outside the classroom. According this “openness” of the school, is applied a formal, informal and non-formal type of education, in which the natural, social and cultural environment is utilized as a primary source of knowledge.

In this context, parents can be implicated in the action planning, implementation and evaluation of activities while the pedagogical role of teacher is one of facilitator and participative.
