KIKS

The EU ERASMUS+ project KIKS (Kids Inspiring Kids in STEAM) objective is to get ‘kids’ developing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths) activities for other kids in Hothousing workshops, Local Challenges and International Collaboration. It is an example of iSTEM+

Many children, and their parents and teachers, do not enjoy or have confidence in maths and STEAM: they have anxiety even math/technophobia and drop it as soon as they can. So WHO BETTER than to ask those more enthusiastic and/or able students to develop STEAM popularisation projects and deliver them to the less confident student audiences in the participating countries.

The remarkable work of participants is shown in the opposite (overlapping) PREZIs.

· Budapest Metropolitan University, Hungary

· University of Jyväskylä, Finland

· University of Cantabria, Spain

and the teachers and students of groups of schools in the four countries.
