Abstract
The implementation of an integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) didactic unit and its effects among primary education pupils is reported. The unit, designed to help pupils improve their competencies, revolves around the resolution of an engineering problem and addresses the Spanish curriculum for the sixth grade of primary education in the areas of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Arts. Compared to the control group, the pupils following the STEAM didactic unit expressed stronger intentions to pursue science and engineering careers, despite the short—two week—intervention. Although the inter-group analysis showed non-significant differences, an effect size was noted for the group that had followed the didactic unit.
