Design tool for Curious hands
I.M. (Imka) Buurke
This Curious Hands Tool can be used to design or evaluate STEAM education and maker education. The reflective questions and design guidelines in the tool stimulate practice-oriented learning, the creative process and situational learning activities. The tool distinguishes between different types of STEAM education: technology-oriented STEAM, problem-oriented STEAM and research-oriented STEAM. Depending on the type of STEAM you want to design, it offers practical design guidelines. This tool has been developed and tested in various educational practices and is part of a doctoral research project entitled “Curious hands for E-labs” (2020-2025)
