Students as Digital Storytellers: a STEAM approach to Space Exploration (DiSTARS)
The DiSTARS approach aims to test a synchronized integration of Art and STEM in the primary curriculum, simulating the ways in which subjects naturally connect in the real world. Combining scientific inquiry with artistic expression (e.g. visual and performing arts), storytelling, and by using a digital storytelling platform along with AR and VR technology, this educational practice captures the imagination of young students and provides them with one of their early opportunities for digital creative expression.
