Global Schools Launches Guide on Greening STEAM Education with Siemens Energy

Schools for Goal 7: A Guide on Greening STEAM Education

The Greening STEAM Education Guide is part of the “Schools for Goal 7” initiative, a project by Global Schools in partnership with Siemens Energy, which trains teachers and students on renewable energy and the energy transition through gamified curricula. The Greening STEAM Education guide provides introductory information on STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math) and related pedagogical approaches. It also offers primary and secondary educators a series of 18 lesson plans and activities that they can use in their classrooms. These activities span a range of disciplines, and address sustainable development topics such as protecting ocean ecosystems, combating deforestation, curbing plastic waste, and more. 

The guide is structured into four parts, which include: 

• Part 1: STEAM and the Sustainable Development Goals

• Part 2: Integrating SDGs into STEAM-based activities

• Part 3: Classroom Activities

• Part 4: Additional Resources

This guide was developed by Global School Team Members Amanda Abrom, Lucía Vázquez García, and Katja Anger-Delimi, with support and contributions from a global educator network, including: Ahmet Murat Zeytcioglu, Chinasa Gloria, Cynthia Brawner, Garima Singh, Lizzie Muringi, Marti Hendrichs, Nouf Youseff, Raymond Mitchell Africa, Sandra Ospina, Saumya Tripathi, Katrina Taylor, Elyana Zawaideh, Catarina Dos Santos Vara, Sanam Arzoo, Elena Martelli, Semih Esendemir, Sudha Rakesh, Fotoh Louis Fonkeng, Fred Swai Ferdnand, Catarina Suzzi, and Dorothea Mueller.
