Abstract
In the context of the digital society, educational systems should
prepare the students to succeed in a really volatile environment. In order to do so
they require to acquire some specific competences that use to be related to
STEAM Education. However, integrating STEAM is hard and requires of new
methodologies and tools. RoboSTEAM is an Erasmus+ project that aims to
facilitate this by using Challenge Based Learning and applying Physical Devices
and Robotics. In order to know if what RoboSTEAM proposes work properly it
must be tested in different contexts with different educational systems. The
results of these tests should be compared, which requires of a common
knowledge background. In order to achieve it RoboSTEAM proposes students
and teachers exchanges between similar and different sociocultural
environments, so they can learn how other people work in the project challenges
and if what they do can be addressed by them in a similar way. The present work
describes these exchanges, how they were planned and carried out and the main
results obtained. From the exchanges carried out until now it is possible to say
that they facilitate sharing knowledge that later can lead to better results in the
project challenges and that they are enriching experiences both for students and
for teachers.
