iMuSciCA Online Summer School 2020
6-10 July 2020
iMuSciCA stands for Interactive Music Science Collaborative Activities.
iMuSciCA Online Summer School 2020 is a refined version of the physical Summer School meeting in Greece that was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the COVID-19 crisis can be an opportunity for us to recapitalize the effort we dedicated in building innovative platforms like he iMuSciCA Workbench that can be fully used during the period like the one we have been experiencing. We seek to offer you a warm opportunity to meet the people who built it and share with us your vision for an ICT-in-STEAM classroom.
Our online Summer Course is offering an interdisciplinary experience that encourages STEAM pedagogy through ICT. It offers a solution based on an innovative educational approach that addresses secondary school students. The purpose of iMuSciCA is to design and implement a suite of software tools and services on top of embedded on a workbench that will deliver interactive music activities.
The solution intends to support mastery of core academic content on STEM subjects (Physics, Geometry, Mathematics, and Technology/Engineering), and to develop students’ creativity and deeper learning skills through their engagement in music activities.
There are 20 places available! Make sure you register to secure your participation:
iMUSciCA stands for Interactive Music Science Collaborative Activities.
Τhe iMuSciCA summer school introduces the Inquiry Based Science Education model (IBSE) through STEAM pedagogy in order to achieve Deeper Learning. The iMuSciCA STEAM pedagogy will address different disciplines such as music, science/maths and engineering/technology. The STEAM pedagogy will let children play, discover and design within those disciplines.
The iMuSciCA STEAM pedagogy reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the STE(A)M world on a double dimension:
- – it connects concepts and skills from different disciplines in order to look better to a whole
- – it recommends that teachers with different backgrounds (music, science/maths, engineering) work together to bring this STEAM pedagogy to the classroom.
STEAM works on the transfer of concepts and skills from one content area to another, as it looks at the same concept in different ways and from different viewpoints. For example, proportional reasoning is usually learnt in mathematics with numbers and geometrical figures, while the concept of frequency of a sound played by a string provides a new field of experience of proportional reasoning.
A few words about IBSE and Deeper Learning
The iMuSciCA STEAM pedagogy will let students experience the interplay of the STEAM-fields by looking the same concepts through the discipline ‘glasses’ of music, science/math and the engineering/technology. In iMuSciCA, the traditional Inquiry Based Science Education (IBSE) phases are broadened so as to let room to activities usually not incorporated in science inquiry, like for instance the making/design phase which can occur both in engineering/technology and music.
The inclusion of concepts or practices from other subjects in iMuSciCA is intended to deepen the learning and the understanding of the targeted STEAM subjects. Deeper learning includes: (i) mastery of core academic content, (ii) critical thinking and problem-solving, (iii) working collaboratively in groups, (iv) communicating clearly and effectively, (v)·learning how to learn, and (vi) develop academic mindsets.
Participants who attend successfully the full length of the online training course and deliver the requested tasks will receive a certificate for successful participation.
iMuSciCA Summer School will take place from 6th to July 10th July 2020.
Participation in this course is free!!!

The iMuSciCA Online Summer School is open to any teacher interested in integrating STEAM creative methodologies using state-of-the-art online platforms with emphasis in music and acoustics. It is mainly targeted to teachers teaching Geometry, Acoustics and Music but anyone interested in finding out more ways to explore the connection of Science and Music is also welcome.

Participants should proceed to the following prerequisites :
- Explore the iMuSciCA online workbench
- Join the iMuSciCA online Community as members and visit at least three of the project’s learning scenarios on the community resources page
Renaat Frans (UCLL, Belgium)
Prof. Renaat Frans lectures Physics Education at the Teacher Education Department of the University Colleges Leuven-Limburg, Belgium. He founded the Expertise Centre Art of Teaching, a research unit focused on the development of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). The group is specialized in pedagogical questions concerning interdisciplinary teaching within the different sciences and where the sciences meet technology and arts. On a policy level, Renaat Frans is consulted for curriculum development and advices for educational policies related to STEM and STEAM.
