Abstract

One of the primary goals of Experimental Schools is the pilot implementation of innovations in the educational process. Within this framework, excellence, innovation, and creativity clubs are organized to support students in fields aligned with their interests and talents. This poster presentation aims to showcase the structure of an educational club designed following the STEAM approach and project-based learning. In the "Young STEAM Creators" club, students engaged in various activities (research, design, experimentation, construction) to develop knowledge and skills essential for the demands of the 21st century.
