Deepening "proactive, interactive, and in-depth learning" through STEAM education
 

Overview
With the full implementation of "Comprehensive Inquiry Time" from the 2022 academic year at its core, STEAM education is spreading in schools through cross-disciplinary learning, and collaboration with external parties is also progressing. This forum will look back on these efforts and discuss how universities and companies can become involved and collaborate with schools to deepen "proactive, interactive, and deep learning." It will also look ahead to the role of universities, the involvement of external talent, and the development of education through curriculum management, and consider, with a variety of examples, how schools and society can work together to realize the image of the future talent society desires.

Members of the university, university faculty, board of education, school officials nationwide, business people, and anyone interested in education are welcome to attend.
