The future is not as far away as we think. On the contrary, the classrooms of the future are already here, and they are a reality in many schools and institutes, for both students and teachers.

But what are the STEAM classrooms?

Let’s not think that these classrooms will be filled with technology everywhere, because they won’t be.

While it is true that technology will be part of thesenew educational spaces, the classrooms of the future will be those that adapt, to the needs of their students, addressing them to provide a completepedagogical experience for their personal, social, and intellectual development.

In 2017, the first classroom adapted to this new way of learning was created.. These spaces were designed to allow students to access areas of knowledge that, in the future, will be essential for their professional and personal development. Areas directly related to science, technological development, engineering, and mathematics.

Currently, the classrooms of the future have become an essential factor for the new generations to achieve educational and business success. . Promoting technological development, as well as skills like creation, discussion, collaboration, and responsibility, are fundamental concepts in this new pedagogical approach.

In recent years, many experts have studied and analyzed the situation, identifying different trends that will be key to thisnew learning process. :

1. Digital Responsibility 

2. STEAM Education(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) (STEAM Classrooms)

3. Collaborative Classrooms

4. Skills for the Workplace

5. Emerging Technology

Las STEAM classrooms They must adapt to trends and the needs of students. For this reason, spaces must evolve alongside education. For classrooms to transform, it means that teachers must be able to guide their students toward the success we speak of, making it a collaborative effort between teacher and student.  

Estas aulas encuentran el camino hacia el futuro también a través del diseño.

Asientos o sillas pensadas para la correcta postura del alumno que motive su concentración, mesas adaptables que fomenten el diálogo y el trabajo en grupo, o armarios modulares que vayan en consonancia con la clase, dejando el ambiente perfecto para las diferentes didácticas.

Por eso, el aspecto estético del espacio donde se desarrollan todas estas habilidades, cobra especial importancia para conformar las aulas del futuro.
