Steam cooperation / Erasmus Plus project

STEAM education is an educational approach that focuses on the cooperation between science, technology, engineering and mathematics with art. In this respect, STEAM breaks up the STEM category (in German MINT) with art strategies and aims for an interdisciplinary, open, critical, collaborative and process-oriented education. A culture of in a targeted manner applying creativity and imagination in combination with typical STEM skills is understood as a means to deeper insights and transformative innovation.

STEAM Inc. is an Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance, approved in October 2019, which brings together six European universities, including TUD and Ars Electronica Linz, to develop methods of STEAM innovation and STEAM curriculum for higher education. Under the leadership of Prof. Daniel Lordick (Geometric Modelling and Visualization Group), the TUD STEAM working group has brought together university teachers from various TUD faculties, the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL) and the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections to participate in this process.
