SARI SÄLEVÄ

I have been an art teacher at a Comprehensive School for over 15 years. In recent years I have also been a STEAM tutor teacher. My areas of expertise include STEAM, learning technology and transversal competences. Currently, I am a learning environment developer specializing in collaborative teaching and creation of steam based multidisciplinary learning modules. Utilization of games (such as Minecraft) in learning rouses both students and teachers alike to learn new things. Learning should always be fun!

VILLE SILLANPÄÄ

I’m a teacher of biology, geography and STEAM for 5th to 9th grade students. I have also worked as a STEAM tutor in the City of Oulu, tutoring other teachers to the secrets of STEAM education. I have always been interested in technology, I studied engineering science in the University of Oulu before becoming a teacher. I love to tinker my own designs with a laser cutter, 3D-printer and microcontrollers, which my family is well aware of as they have got their own share of my tinkerings as a Christmas and birthday presents.

Personalized learning, positive pedagogy and student-centered use of ICT are also close to my heart, so these are strongly present in my STEAM lessons. For me STEAM is a way to help my students to find their own strengths and learn 21st century skills.
