Culture Quest: Building Bridges with STEAM

Our pupils from the Preparatory Class at “Dr. Ioan Mihalyi de Apșa” Secondary School, Sighetu Marmației, proudly present their STEAM mascots. Using recycled cardboard, paper and a lot of imagination, the children created friendly characters, robots and funny little heroes that represent creativity, teamwork and environmental care. In this short film you can see how their ideas come to life: every mascot has a story, a personality and a message – let’s build cultural and STEAM adventures together! This video is a celebration of our students’ talent and of the joy of learning through play, art and innovation.  

 This joyful mascot is made entirely from recycled materials: cardboard boxes for the body and head, folded paper for the colourful accordion arms and legs, and green pipe cleaners for the antennae. With his big smile and bright shapes on his chest, the Recycled STEAM Buddy invites children to create, reuse materials and build “bridges” between art, engineering and environmental care.

 Rareș Budeanu is a Preparatory Class pupil at “Dr. Ioan Mihalyi de Apșa” Secondary School in Sighetu Marmației. For our eTwinning project, he created this amazing Wall-E robot from recycled cardboard and proudly became the little engineer of our class. Wearing his Wall-E costume, Rareș shows how creativity, recycling and technology can come together in a fun STEAM adventure.
