Summary/Abstract: Over time, it has been found that STEM education does not cover all areas of school knowledge necessary for the integration of today's students into tomorrow's society. The introduction of the arts and reading along with the exact STEM subjects was intended to increase interest in knowledge and learning. Service learning projects can be considered an efficient and innovative way of applying the integrated STREAM approach to the classroom. Through this study, we aim to investigate how teachers understand the INTEGRATED STREAM approach, and, respectively, the realization of this type of approach through service learning projects. The participants in the research were primary and secondary teachers who attended a two-week summer camp. The results show that: a) engineering and technology have raised issues for teachers regarding their didactic treatment, these areas being often confused; b) participants show high interest in applying the INTEGRATED STREAM approach in service learning projects.
