STEAM at Gaztelueta

In recent years there has been a growing demand for professionals qualified in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). Internationally, there is an increasing implementation of these competences in schools, thus adapting education to the new needs of the 21st century.

It is a new learning model based on teaching these disciplines not as separate areas of knowledge, but in an integrated way, with an interdisciplinary and applied approach.

Greenpower is a project that is currently being developed in many schools in the UK. The young students work in teams and develop STEAM skills in Gaztelueta, through the construction of electric and ecological cars with which they will later compete. In this way, a positive perception of science, technology, innovation and the environment is promoted in the students.


It also fosters connections between the educational sphere and the business world. The students have to find the necessary sponsors and resources to bring their project to fruition, and they also work on communication and sales skills, as well as drawing up a business plan, which they have to prepare and explain to the sponsors.

Every week the students have the opportunity to acquire this important skill slowly and enjoyably through fun methods.

Covering all educational stages, from Infant to Baccalaureate, allows us to work with each student as a whole person, to develop all their intellectual aptitudes and to forge a personality that allows them to achieve their future goals.
