The goal of the Kids Inspiring Kids in STEAM (KIKS) project was to raise students’ awareness towards the
multi- and transdisciplinary connections between the STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering,
Arts & Mathematics), and make the learning about topics and phenomena from these fields more enjoyable.
In order to achieve these goals, KIKS project has popularized the STEAM-concept by projects based on the
students inspiring other students-approach and by utilizing new technologies, tools, open educational
resources, and everyday items and materials. Through the students-inspiring-other-students-approach, we
have aimed to get participating students developing STEAM activities for other students in their own local
context and in a wider European physical and virtual community. English, Finnish, Hungarian and Spanish
children were participating in the project.
