STEAMnet Education Network
Multidisciplinary and phenomenon-based learning for developing transportable skills and key competencies are becoming increasingly important in Finland and around the world.
Our goal is the creative and collaborative, methodological, and material enhancement of the integrated approach to Science-, Technology-, Engineering-, Arts- and Mathematics learning, known as STEAM.

STEAMnet’s Bridges Jyväskylä Math-Art Collection
conference, the world's largest and internationally renowned mathematics, and arts community’s annual meeting has been organized at the Ģֱ with enormous success. Bridges Finland 2016 got the Jyväskylä Convention Bureau’s and the conference’s educational and cultural programs have attracted thousands of people, including teachers, children, and their families, who visited the STEAM workshops organized in the program.
As a preparation event for the Bridges conference, the Discover the Art of Mathematics exhibit, an interactive mathematics exhibit, and a workshop space in JYU’s Soihtu Exhibition Center has attracted more than 3000 pupils and their teachers around the region.
A local multidisciplinary community has emerged based on the local teachers, who were participating in the Soihtu-exhibit and in the Bridges 2016’s cultural and educational programs, and the local artists, who were participating in Bridges 2016’s academic sessions and art exhibit. In addition to the emergence of a new local community – connected by STEAM-learning –, Bridges participants have donated several valuable artworks and educational tools for local learning processes and cultural activities, such as organizing children's programs.
The interest in these artworks, tools, methods, and activities has significantly grown and we get more and more requests from local teachers to visit their schools with our STEAM programs.
STEAMnet Teacher Training Courses in STEAM
STEAM-oriented teacher training courses at the Ģֱ are organized by Dr. Kristóf Fenyvesi at the Department of Teacher Education as part of the “Mathematics, small group teaching” Applied Module.
