We’re excited to share that the STEAMCRAFT team was present at the PBE 2025 conference — the 23rd annual edition of the PBE 2025 (“Project-Based Education and Other Student-Activating Strategies and Issues in STE(A)M Education”) held on 7–8 November 2025 in Prague.

In our latest video, “STEAMCRAFT Focus Tests on Students”, we explore how targeted assessments can boost engagement and understanding in STEAM classrooms.
These “focus tests” are not traditional exams—they’re quick, formative tools that help track student progress in areas like problem-solving, creativity, and conceptual knowledge. They give educators real-time insights to adapt teaching and deepen learning.

We know that understanding environmental issues can be a challenge sometimes. As much as we can gradually feel its effects, getting a grasp of the whole picture can be a little out of touch. And here is where STEAMCRAFT comes into play.
