Director of Education and the Centre for Research in Informal Education (CREI) at the National Museum of Science and Technology
Yet another edition of the teachers’ training course Future Inventors took place at the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia. For three whole days teachers explored how the arts, aesthetic experience and embodied cognition can contribute to learning in STEM at school. It is since 2019 that we, at the Museum, research and experiment with new possibilities, test new grounds and challenge traditional teaching practice. We integrate digital art installations with inquiry-based science learning, we collaborate with artists to push the boundaries of experience and to create open-ended, inclusive learning. We invite a team of teachers from each school to join as we want those who teach science, technology, arts and music to work together, and to reason how -together- they can change their practice towards a more interdisciplinary approach. There is a lot to say about the intersection of science, the digital and the arts for the benefit of learning and the learners. Future Inventors, and the support of Fondazione Rocca, allowed us to give sense to the STEAM acronym through research and the design of a new approach. Next edition: 24-25-26 June.
