What is it

StarT is an initiative on collaborative teaching by the Finnish government that promotes interdisciplinary project-based and phenomenon-based learning – it puts science and technology into a context that is relevant for students and makes learning both exciting and meaningful.

The StarT project has been launched in honour of Finland’s centenary by The LUMA Centre Finland.
