Despite the increasing attention given to project-based STEAM education in early childhood settings, empirical evidence regarding its effects on the creative potential of very young children remains limited, particularly in comparison with traditional theme-based curricula. This pilot study employed a 1-year quasi-experimental design to examine the differential impacts of these two curricular app…

New benchmarks will help schools and colleges offer life and future skills, including STEM , alongside arts, sport, nature and civic activity, with Ofsted set to consider enrichment provision. The government’s £132.5 million Every Child Can program will support access to STEM and engineering clubs alongside wider enrichment activities in schools and communities across England. The UK government h…

The randomized study involved 1,763 students across 12 schools, but found that those who entered with stronger math skills recorded the largest gains. Google DeepMind is building a wider portfolio of international trials examining how AI can be integrated into teacher-led classrooms Google DeepMind and Fab AI have released results from a randomized controlled trial in Sierra Leone that found stud…

Continuing with chemistry, our ELI today is 'An Element of fun; an entertaining way to teach Mendeleev's Periodic Table of elements'.

Google.org is committing $50 million to expand skilled trades training support for more than 300,000 American workers across more than 20 states Google is expanding its skilled trades training support through a $50 million Google.org commitment aimed at preparing…

The call covers global standards, STEM policy, workforce development, inclusion, learning ecosystems, and digital and AI transformation. The UNESCO International Institute for STEM Education is seeking experts to support work across STEM education, policy, inclusion, workforce development, and digital and AI transformation. The UNESCO International Institute for STEM Education is calling for inte…

The global shift toward competency-based education places unprecedented demands on frontline teachers to enact dynamic, process-oriented assessments. However, translating these top-down policy mandates into daily practice within resource-constrained classrooms remains a significant challenge. To unpack this implementation gap, this study employed an exploratory, embedded single-case study through…

BIG–Bjarke Ingels Group was selected to design the campus of a new STEM university in Arkansas , United States , on a site located near Bentonville's downtown, formerly home to Walmart's headquarters. The project comprises three buildings occupying two city blocks and was designed in collaboration with Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects , who will serve as the Architect of Record. The campus comprise…

Durham University and Microsoft will open an AI Skills Centre of Excellence in October to support students, staff, employers, and public-sector workers across the North East Durham University and Microsoft will open an AI Skills Centre of Excellence in October, creating a h…

The low learning activity and cognitive learning outcomes of Class X.1 students at SMA Negeri 12 Pekanbaru on stoichiometry formed the basis for conducting this study, particularly because teacher-centered learning caused students to be less active in asking questions, discussing, and independently constructing conceptual understanding. This study aims to improve students’ learning activity and c…

A new free elementary science curriculum now available nationwide could reshape how young students learn science — and a Michigan State University professor helped lead its development. Amelia Wenk Gotwals, a professor in MSU’s College of Education, played a central role in developing OpenSciEd, an open-access K–5 science curriculum aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, … The post N…

During the 2025-2026 school year, educators from the NASA Science Activation Program’s GLOBE (Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment) Mission Earth project participated in a specialized Community of Practice led by NASA Langley Research Center to refine how students interact with NASA’s land cover data (MODIS, Landsat, and Sentinel-2).

The last panel of The Responsible AI Forum on May 20th, 2026 closed with a timely discussion on the use of AI in education. Moderated by Prof. Nicole Lønfeldt, the panel brought together experts Prof. Christiane Lütge, Prof. Anne Keune and Prof. Sneha Das to explore the opportunities and risks that AI is already presenting and may pose in the future.

With the end of the school year, a wonderful educational experience also came to a close, involving students and teaching staff from the Russell Newton institute in a journey to discover biodiversity and the origins of our crops. The initiative, carried out within the framework of the COUSIN Project in collaboration with the partner Rete […]

This study examines the effects of modelling-centred project-based learning with rotational roles on students’ scientific creativity and inquiry-oriented thinking in mathematics. While modelling and project-based approaches are widely used in STEM education, their effectiveness remains inconsistent, partly due to the lack of structured mechanisms that guide students’ engagement in complex cogniti…
