Digital Didactic Gallery

The contribution presents an experience of STEAM education, in a school where the study of the Arts and the use of digital tools enable hybridity across curriculum design, knowledge selection, teaching methodologies, and the involvement of professionals in education. The “Gallery” represents Frida, one of the five “Sisters” who reshape the curriculum with a focus on talent development. Frida symbolises artistic intelligence, represented by the “A” in STEArtsM. The Gallery is characterised by the dynamic generation of images within white frames and backgrounds. Curriculum pathways are co-constructed through a combination of technologies that emphasise the value of artistic and literary heritage. Methodologically, the activities are introduced as problem-solving opportunities. Classes work autonomously, defining pathways and creating works to be presented to the public. The Gallery's output consists of a collection of “events/exhibitions” that students design, create, and promote. Pathways in art, music, history, and cultural expression serve as tools for generating and showcasing storytelling within the Gallery's dedicated space in the School (Leo Space). The Leo Space exhibition, along with the curriculum pathway, becomes a place that connects various disciplines, fostering an engaging experience enriched by interdisciplinary learning processes, emotional exploration, and the development of non-cognitive skills.
