Our goal is to inspire and encourage children and young people to study and engage with STEM subjects (mathematics, environmental studies, natural sciences, and technology) through science education activities, such as free-of-charge study visits to universities, new pedagogical innovations for teaching, and after-school activities.
We also support teachers’ lifelong learning, from early childhood education to higher education, across Finland, and strengthen the research-based development of teaching. LUMA Centre Finland has a national task from the Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland, to ensure enough STEM experts and a high level of expertise throughout the country.
