Abstract

Embracing complexity in today's world makes students impatient to learn following the conventional chalk-and-talk style of teaching, and yet plenty of helpful IT-techniques are available and surrounded. This talk provides a care-and-feeding of STEAM education, namely 'Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics', offering a new way of utilizing matters of natural learning to be 'live'. A tree robot is created as an instrument to help students achieve the 21^st century learning skills. As a result of many hours in experiments with the proposed pedagogy, the robot helps redefine what attention is and how to use it innovatively.
