EO STEM Jam

EO STEM Jam
A Unique Educational Event
EO STEM Jam is an inspiring educational event that offers emotionally engaging experiences, creatively designed math competitions, and inspiring science and art activities. The event opens up new perspectives on education, volunteering, and mathematics.
In 2024–2025, we organized four festivals in Helsinki, attended by 400 families and 180 volunteers. The average feedback rating was 9.7/10, and the NPS reached 89.7%.

EO STEM Jam creates a safe and inspiring learning environment where children of different skill levels can participate according to their own abilities. Multilingual delivery also makes it possible for families with different language and cultural backgrounds to take part. At the end of the day, every child receives a personal recognition, which strengthens motivation to learn and a sense of their own competence.
The next EO STEM Jam will be held on 3–4.10.2026 at Dipoli, Aalto University in Espoo.

Activities for children
Mathematics tasks
Children solve math problems independently by choosing a level that suits them, which strengthens their confidence and challenges them.
Team tasks
4th–6th graders complete a team challenge in which they collect resources to build a structure that earns points for the team.
Science activities
Hands-on science activities bring joy and excitement. Each child is awarded a medal and special gifts.
STEM Activities
The event features a wide range of STEM activities that showcase mathematics, science, and natural phenomena in a hands-on and engaging way. The activities develop children's talents, confidence, and skills.

What Our Customers Say
Our feedback shows that our work inspires and sparks an interest in STEM fields.
Lapseni oli innoissaan tapahtumasta ja suunnittelee jo ensi vuoden osallistumista. Jos tämä ei ole jo kansainvälinen konsepti, niin myykää tämä maailmalle :-) Hauska ja hyödyllinen tapahtuma!
Very interesting and professionally organized mathematical event! Our child was excited by atmosphere, mathematical puzzles he was solving. We are waiting for the next event. Big applause to organizers!
Kokea koko tapahtuma. En edes tiennyt, että tälläistä järjestetään Suomessa. Olen vaan nähnyt TV:ssä ohjelmissa.
One of the best events for school kids in Helsinki! Children just can’t get enough! 100 % friendly atmosphere, fun math tasks (for both kids and parents), cool activities and cookies. 🤗 …
Technical Details and Schedule
Children
300–1000 (Grades 1–6)
Parents and professionals
400–1200
Youth
90–120
Event duration
1–3 days (depending on the venue)
Each event day consists of two consecutive sessions.
Session duration
Each session lasts up to 3.5 hours
Sample schedule – one session
– Arrival and welcome ceremony (40 min) – a warm welcome and introduction to the program
– Math challenge for children (45 min) – differentiated task paths (easy–medium–hard); each child chooses a suitable level, progresses at their own pace, and collects points/recognition
– STEM workshops and building activities (60 min) – creativity, experimentation, and teamwork
– Logic games and idea corner for parents (100 min) – runs in parallel with the children’s math challenge and STEM activities; offering discussion, tips, and inspiration
– Joint awards ceremony and closing (40 min) – celebrating the day’s achievements together
The program typically lasts about 3–4 hours, and during that time there is an opportunity to meet other families, talk with experts, and discover new ways to inspire children to engage with mathematics and science.

Collaboration Opportunities for Cities
EO STEM Jam offers municipalities and cities a low-threshold partnership opportunity that supports children's and young people's well-being, inclusion, and equal access to learning.
The event brings together mathematics, science, and creative building for the whole family and unites children, parents, and teachers from different backgrounds.
Collaboration with the city does not always include a funding request — it can be based, for example, on providing venues, communication support, or joint marketing.
Benefits for the municipality:
The event brings joy, inspiration, and new learning experiences to the area, strengthens community spirit, and supports local strategies such as children's and young people's well-being plans and programs that promote equal access to learning.
Our model is tested and scalable: we can deliver the event quickly and cost-effectively in any municipality by leveraging local schools, volunteers, and networks.
The city gains visibility as a promoter of children's and young people's learning, along with the opportunity to offer residents high-quality and inspiring activities without high participation costs.
Join us in making mathematics visible and meaningful for all children!
