About the project

Making STEAM education work for students with special educational needs, particularly those with ADHD, autism and dyslexia.

The goal of the project is to make STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education accessible to students with special educational needs—particularly those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. The consortium is developing an inclusive, practice-validated framework and 60 interactive activities that will eliminate students’ isolation during group work and ensure their active, meaningful, and expert participation rather than mere physical presence.

Key highlights

  • An offline STEAM platform

    Development of an exclusive offline STEAM platform that ensures equal access to quality digital education even in the event of a weak or absent internet connection.

  • Universal Design for Learning

    The approach is based on the principles of “Universal Design for Learning” (UDL), thus providing a variety of approaches and interactions for students with different learning profiles.

  • The Agile Jigsaw method

    It employs the “Agile Jigsaw” method, which ensures that every student is assigned a clear, essential role and responsibility in group assignments, thereby increasing psychological safety.
