Toolbox
The Road-STEAMer toolbox incorporates elements from all the results of the project, including, gained learnings and experiences, evaluation findings and policy recommendations. There is an emphasis on quick access to our results with a touch of graphically engaging content.
This modular set of materials functions as a Navigator and allows different members of the stakeholder community to find a wealth of content, as well as inspirational best practices and success stories that may use to embark on new or enrich existing science education activities.
Some elements from the results
