ROUND UP
GRATNELLS Callero Plus trolleys for STEAM learning I
n STEAM subjects, investigation and experimentation are an important part of learning, building confidence and inquisitiveness.
Practical experience is already proven to have greater learning outcomes and better retention amongst students than structured teaching and lecture models, bringing the theoretical to life. Teaching and learning through STEAM activities can take many
formats, but all serve as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors, and expertise. Activities can be personalised to any project that involves group collaboration - from coding and robotics to woodworking and art projects to science and engineering experiments. In the school environment, Gratnells believes the goal of a maker
space or STEAM club is to empower students to see themselves as inventors, builders and creators, allowing for the learning of new skills through trial and error by experiencing failure, exploring alternatives and problem-solving to improve on ideas and most importantly by promoting collaborative learning. Gratnells Callero Plus trolleys provide a focal point for collaborative
working and also a resource centre for the management and control, as well as storage, of technical resources. They allow practical activities to be carried out anywhere, even in regular classrooms, and are not confined to specialist technology workshops. According to Anthony Byrne, Product Manager at Gratnells, “The
success of Callero Plus is down to the fact it’s been cleverly designed with schools in mind and this shows as it is consistently being chosen as the complete storage system of choice in STEAM education”. In 2019, and riding on the success of their award winning
MakerSpace trolley, Gratnells will be introducing dedicated Callero Plus compact STEAM trolleys to the market, showing its long term commitment to investing in STEAM education.
