EO STEM Jam aims to create an informal learning community where everyone, regardless of their background or ability, can feel included and supported.
The purpose of EO STEM Jam is to show children that math can be a fun festival which fosters in them passion to study, to learn new topics, and to achieve better results.
EO STEM Jam is organized by Aurora Math ry, a non-profit association dedicated to making mathematics and STEM education accessible to children and families. The festival format was originally developed by EO Space Oy, an EdTech startup based in Finland, a graduate of the Helsinki Education Incubator.
EO STEM Jam are open to children studying in Eskari groups and in the first 6 years of school.
This event will be conducted in three languages: Finnish, Swedish and English. Embracing multilingualism offers inclusivity, accessibility, and cultural exchange for all our participants!
- All tasks for children will be available in Finnish, Swedish, and English.
- The host, volunteers, and activity managers will communicate with children in all three languages.
- Lectures for parents will be conducted in the lecturer’s language (Finnish, English, or Swedish).
- The game consists of solving math problem cards.
- Problem cards consist of several problems and have different levels of difficulty. The first level can be solved by everyone, and the last one is the most difficult.
- Throughout the game, players pick cards of any difficulty level, solve them, and the volunteer with our system checks the answers.
- If answers are correct, a player receives points named 'olimpcoins', and picks the next card to solve.
- If some of the entered answers are incorrect, no olimpcoins are gained, and the player has to pick another card.
- If a card is too difficult, boring, or a player just doesn't like it, they can change it at any moment of the game.
The exact event location will be announced in April 2026.
