COURSE DESCRIPTION STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) integration in education is becoming increasingly important worldwide. In today's Finnish schools, multidisciplinary and phenomenon-based learning are the critical approaches, which implement STEAM in the form of project-based learning in everyday practices. Based on the overview of the Finnish and global "STEAM-scape," our training program reflects on the major trends, opportunities, and current challenges of inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary mathematics learning combined with various tools and technologies. Experience Workshop Global STEAM Network-Finland's (www.experienceworkshop.org) own research, development, and co-creation projects provide a firm basis for the training content.
