Summary/Abstract: STEM education is the integrated approach of specific disciplines, namely, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Analyzing the literature, the STEM approach referred to a monodisciplinary approach to the four fields. Subsequently, there was a need for their integration, so as to prepare students in any of these areas. They will be able to solve problems that arise in everyday life and last but not least to guide them towards future STEM careers. Over time, it has been found that STEM education does not cover all the areas necessary for integration into today's society, as a result new concepts have emerged. The introduction of arts and reading alongside exact subjects aimed to increase interest in STEM subjects, thus providing a different, collaborative and interesting perspective of observing the world, avoiding possible ruptures between exact sciences and the applications of the world we live in. The purpose of this study is to present the experiences of the students participating in the Summer Camp, "Discover the Hero in You". Activities carried out within the camp focused on the integrated STREAM activities.
