We at STEM School Finland have developed our own theme-based curriculum in the field of natural sciences, engineering, arts and technology.
Children can start learning STEAM at the age of 3. We have advanced groups and lesson plans available up to 16-18 year olds. During these STEAM learning paths students gain very profound knowledge and skills in these topics.
