We cordially invite you to an exclusive Lunch & Learn event to discover the results of the international STEAMCRAFT project!
On May 10, 2026, Budapest’s Szabadság Square came alive as the city gathered to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of Hungary’s accession to the European Union. The full-day festival offered a vibrant atmosphere for all ages, blending the energy of live concerts and a community running race with a wide variety of family-friendly programs.
On the 7th May 2026 Johannes Kepler University team disseminated the project work and results in the “Reimagining STEAM” Conference. The conference was held in Linz, Austria, on the topic of STEAM Education, and reached an audience of over 50 participants (researchers and teachers).
The STEAMCRAFT project continues to demonstrate how collaborative innovation can transform education. One of the key milestones in this journey has been the successful completion of Work Package 4 (WP4): Lesson Plan Development, led by the Department of STEM Didactics at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz.
STEAMCRAFT is an international collaboration that reimagines education by combining Minecraft-based environments with sustainability-focused STEM learning.
STEAMCRAFT is an Erasmus+ project designed to enhance sustainability and STEM education through innovative, game-based learning methodologies. The project is grounded in interdisciplinary research, combining environmental science, pedagogy, and digital innovation.
STEAMCRAFT provides an immersive, Minecraft-based learning environment where students explore sustainability through interactive gameplay. The platform integrates environmental systems into game mechanics, allowing learners to understand the impact of their decisions in real time.
The conference aims to bring together PhD students from Educational Sciences, especially those who are working in Didactics of different school disciplines. The conference gives the opportunity to participants for present their wok and for meeting and networking other PhD students who are working on the same research issues. PhD students also can take part in the organization of this conference and chair sessions, gaining valuable experiences. Some of the keynotes are given by fresh PhD holders to give an insight in conducting PhD research with its ups and downs, encouraging in this way current PhD students in their work.
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.
We are delighted to announce that the STEAMCRAFT project was showcased at the “STEAM for Tomorrow: From Erasmus+ Results to Skills and Policy in Higher Education” conference, which took place on 30–31 October 2025 at Johannes Kepler University Linz.
