The superposition of 5 components creates a unique environment that grows from experiments as well as engineering, scientific and art projects. The practice rather than theory becomes the centre of an educational routine which allows to build profound knowledge and relevant skills. An interdisciplinary approach is of crucial importance during problem solving and data analysis.

STEAM education
TEACH BACK, or reverse pedagogy
Interdisciplinary approach
All the subjects of interest are being treated as parts of a larger educational framework. Students are being motivated to search for connections between physics, chemistry, biology, geography and many other disciplines.
Mind mapping and other graphing methods are used to better visualise and further investigate said connections.
Mind mapping and other graphing methods are used to better visualise and further investigate said connections.
The students are encouraged to explore the roles of speakers and teachers preparing mini-lectures and recording them in audio and/or video format. Such approach is exceptionally effective testing technique as well as an entertaining way to enhance eloquence.
All my courses and other scientific activities for kids are based on STEAM method which means that students and I favour practice over theory, use multifocal approach and search for an optimal implementation of STEAM during solving particular problems.

Tania Medvedeva
non-fiction writer
My career as a writer emerged from years of continuous teaching and tutoring as well as thorough investigation and analysis of science educational programs and approaches in different countries.
I mix non-fiction descriptions and fiction plots to engage the young readers with amazing concepts that surely help raise future scientists, engineering, mathematicians, eager learners and explorers!
Beautifully illustrated, my books contain lots of proof-read scientific facts that are based on interviews with modern scientists and relevant studies. Experiments, activities and other tasks help kids start implementing STEAM approach the moment they read my books.
I collaborate with world-renowned publishing houses including Thames&Hudson, Zahorí books, Rue de Monde, YUANFUDAO, Mondadori, Alpina Publishing, Piter, Kachelly etc. Together we create amazing books for kids around the world (including my two girls!).
My books are available on the official websites of publishing houses, resellers and marketplaces like Amazon, OZON, Wildberries, etc.

ANTARCTICA
"Around Antarctica. Exploring the Frozen South" is based not only on scientific facts but also unique interviews I conducted with the leading researchers and polar explorers including glaciologists, oceanologists, paleogeographers as well as the head of the antarctic base.

"Around Antarctica" is the first title in the series about the climate refugees. I'm currently working on the second title dedicated to forests. The book is already in Zahorí books catalogue and will be represented at prestigious Frankfurt book fair.
The first total print run of 28000 copies was published in Fall'22.
Thanks to co-edition the first print run is in six languages: English, Chinese, Spanish, Catalan, French and Italian.
AROUND THE FORESTS
This amazing book about forests is the second book in our new series 360°. On its pages you’ll learn about the most fascinating forests on our planet as well as its inhabitants. Together with the characters you’ll get acquainted with various points of view on the importance of forest and its preservation in the face of natural disasters, global warming and, of course, human activity.
It’s designed to inspire future scientists and make all the readers fall in love with forests and become their lifelong friends and protectors.

NEW SERIES
I'd like to present a new series of books for kids 3+ based on STEAM education. The readers will be able to explore the world and get a new scientific perspective on what they are doing on everyday basis. The first title is "STEAM on the playground".
Two sisters, Lyra and Aurelia, are studying science whilst having a great time on playground with their mom and other kids.
