STEM skills for a complex world.
The world is facing major challenges where ecological, social and economic perspectives affect each other. People need to be able to orient themselves and act in a complex, technology-driven world where conflicts between different values arise. STEM skills – science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) – as well as the ability to translate knowledge into action are prerequisites for both individual development and active participation in democratic society. Skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to develop sustainable solutions are becoming increasingly important for responsibly shaping the future.

Interdisciplinary exploration throughout life.
At Universeum, we explore the world through science, technology and mathematics – from atoms and artificial intelligence to ecosystems and equations. We always put the knowledge in an interdisciplinary context that makes visible how the world is connected and works.
We believe in lifelong learning where people build STEM knowledge from childhood and throughout their lives. Universeum offers learning environments and programmes for all ages and different levels of knowledge. It is in our mission to make STEM accessible and relevant to everyone.

Evidence-based STEM pedagogy for deeper understanding.
Our pedagogy is based on Kolb's theory of experiential learning (Experiential Learning Theory), an established model in educational sciences. By combining concrete experiences with reflection and transformation, we create lasting knowledge and understanding. The method develops both factual knowledge and the critical abilities required to navigate in a complex world. Experiential learning gives people the tools to question, analyse and draw conclusions. Such skills are central to both personal development and democratic participation.
Builds the individual's scientific capital.
Scientific capital encompasses much more than just factual knowledge in STEM. This includes attitudes towards the subjects, role models and social networks in the field, as well as what activities the person engages in. Research shows that strong scientific capital not only increases the likelihood of STEM careers, but also gives individuals better conditions to critically review information, participate in public debate, and make informed decisions in everyday life.
STEM competence for the individual, democracy and society.
By systematically building the scientific capital of children and adults, Universeum contributes to a threefold benefit to society. For the individual, this means an increased ability to understand and influence the world around them. For democracy, it creates more informed citizens who can participate in complex social discussions. For society, it ensures a long-term supply of skills in science, engineering and technology. This holistic approach makes Universeum a strategic resource for Sweden's development.
