The article is based on two projects, Steamers and Robokids - funded by the European Commission under the KA202 Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships in school education. The projects are being implemented by the EuroED primary school, Iasi, Romania, as wel as by schools and institutions in the field of education from Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, France, Italy, Poland and Romania. The projects stem from the new challenges that education faces in today’s digital society. In order to meet the new requirements of a digital society, access to high-quality state-of-the-art education embedding Steam-based issues and robotics is necessary since early childhood. Decision-makers are becoming increasingly interested in integrating STEAM methodologies into formal education as STEAM programmes are receiving growing attention in the global educational community. According to research, using STEAM approaches in early childhood will help children establish good attitudes toward this type of education later in life.  Both projects' goal is to create training programmes for pre-primary teachers that are focused on the abilities and essential competencies required to foster positive attitudes toward the subjects, overcome their worries, and boost their confidence in motivating children's engagement in learning. The article outlines the findings of the desk research regarding robotics and/or STEAM education for preschool and primary schools in Romania, including private schools and clubs, and provides some insight into the two projects’ objectives, target users, and main deliverables.
