STEAMSPARK brings together European partners to promote an innovative approach to STEAM education by integrating computer science and sustainability into everyday classroom practice. The project focuses on empowering teachers with practical tools, methodologies and training to address real-world environmental and societal challenges aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By combining digital skills and green awareness, STEAMSPARK aims to prepare students to become responsible, digitally savvy, creative and solution-oriented citizens.<\/p>\n
