Symmetry: Culture and Science. Poly-Universe in School Education
Editor: György Darvas
Volume 31, Number 1, 1-112, 2020
The new issue of the Symmetrion journal is devoted to experiences with the use of the STEAM toolkit Poly-Universe in and out of the classroom. The issue relies on the outcomes of the Poly-Universe in School Education Erasmus+ (PUSE) project (2017-2019).
Abstract of the article Multidisciplinary symmetry education with Poly-Universe toolkit with Poly-Universe toolkit in schools and informal learning context in Finland by Experience Workshop’s research team in Finland:
Between 2017 and 2019, Experience Workshop Global STEAM Network coordinated the Poly-Universe in School Education (PUSE) Erasmus+ project in Finland. In this article, we describe an example of a symmetry education school project, which was carried out in a Finnish lower secondary school with Poly-Universe Toolkit. In addition, the article provides a brief summary of the applicability of Poly-Universe Toolkit in a Finnish elementary, lower and upper secondary school context, based on the experiences we have gained in the PUSE project. Finally, we introduce Poly-Universe Toolkit in informal educational activities provided for adults in Finland.
