A method on how theatre methods and techniques can be used in order to teach STEM subjects. When STEM lessons are full of concepts, formulas, and definitions that students need to memorize, CREATIVE STE(A)M puts art, especially theatre, theatre techniques, and the Art of painting, as a starting point in teaching and learning processes. Students rely on action, images, and representations that develops in the classroom during the teaching of a scientific subject (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math’s). This way they are not a passive spectators but act effectively in the lesson and therefore gain a deeper understanding.

At the same time as the learning takes place through artistic works and processes students broaden their horizons and are socially cultivated expanding their critical thinking.
