Cross-Disciplinary Learning Through Manufacturing: Toward Student-Centered STEAM Education

Abstract

In recent years, with the importance of cross-disciplinary educational programs such as STEAM education, it has become necessary to provide mathematical education at the early stages of elementary and junior high school to prevent the increase in the number of students who have dropped out of science. As a result, educational institutions are also becoming more active in efforts such as robot-themed education as part of their contribution to the local community. In this study, we propose a method for students to decide their own theme about mechanics, obtain a production budget, and engage in cross-disciplinary learning through extracurricular activities. with support outside and inside the school.
