In the last week of January 2026, Experience Workshop had the pleasure of organising a STEAM workshop titled “From molecules to space bases – structures in nature and technology.” This workshop was led by Dr Kristof Fenyvesi and Jukka Lehtoranta from Experience Workshop as a key collaborative exercise during an Erasmus+ student exchange.
Continuing our active research phase in Jyväskylä, in February 2026 Experience Workshop visited Vastatuulen daycare to conduct another pilot session for the Erasmus+ KA2 project, EARLY-POLY. This project explores the use of the innovative Poly-Universe toolkit in preschool education, aiming to create a comprehensive guide for teachers working with children aged 3-10.
In the middle of February 2026, Experience Workshop visited the local English-speaking daycare, The Fox Nest. The visit was a key milestone in our ongoing Erasmus+ KA2 project, EARLY-POLY. This project explores the use of the innovative Poly-Universe toolkit in preschool education, aiming to create a comprehensive guide for teachers working with children aged 3-10.
The Methodological Study book for the ERASMUS+ EARLYPOLY project is now published free-to-use. This comprehensive resource is now available in both English and Hungarian. Experience Workshop is proud to have contributed as a project partner, with our STEAM director, Dr Kristóf Fenyvesi, shaping the STEAM methodological foundation of this work.
The project’s international partners convened in September 2025 for a in-person working session. The meeting was hosted by our French partner, the Espace de l’Art Concret (EAC), in the beautiful setting of Mouans-Sartoux, France.
