This study explores the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) projects, focusing on children from the second cycle of Basic Education at a science dissemination museum. The research investigates VR’s impact on student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes, and this paper presents the idea and results of a preliminary usability test of the prototype “Car Maker” - a VR-based educational game on electrical circuits. Results indicate VR’s effectiveness in enhancing understanding and interest in STEAM subjects, highlighting best practices for its educational implementation.
